I would much rather build than write about building, but when I am not building, I will write about building -- or the significance of those buildings I have already built. -- Frank Lloyd Wright
Frank Lloyd Wright built a body of works and drawings to illustrate and explain his work: collections of designs with commentary that temperamentally parallel that work: irascible, radical, powerful and dense, astonishing and simple in its clarity. One of his earliest published works illustrates the parallel, preserving thought and design at a prophetic moment, shortly before Wright's genius and fame captured two continents and many converts. The Wasmuth portfolio of drawings (named after the original German publisher) is reproduced here from an extremely rare first edition (1910).
The republication of this rare work gives access again to what has been called the single most important collection of work published by Frank Lloyd Wright. Students of American architectural genius will find here the seeds of Wright's greatness.
