3.0 out of 5 stars
A Good Introduction,
By
This review is from: Frank Lloyd Wright: Master Builder (Universe Architecture Series) (Paperback)
A good introduction to the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. The book focuses primarily on Wright's residential work ("Fallingwater" is included), though there are a few churches, a civic center, and of course, the Guggenheim Museum. The photographs are terrific, but the writing is, while eloquent, nevertheless a bit lacking; one gets the impression the poor writer was hired merely to wrap words around the pretty pictures. Still, if you're new to the work of this masterful, prolific artist (as I am), this book serves as a good introduction.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Album like: only 25 buildings in photos, a few tech. drawings,
