Frank Lloyd Wright's genius extended beyond the design of houses: he also designed the things that would fill them. Using basic draftsman's tools--square, triangles, compass--he created dazzling, highly abstract works of art applied to windows, lamps, rugs, mosaics, and furniture. Like his mentor, Louis Sullivan, Wright believed in ornamentation that was integral to a building's design. His work was often so far ahead of its time that it won inadequate respect from the contemporary mainstream. In hindsight, his remarkable architectural and interior details form a logical, natural step on the path to purely abstract graphic designs, such as those adapted for these holiday cards.

Wright's decorative elements combine technical mastery with the fluid imagination of a musician to form convolute, dazzling variations on elegantly simple themes. These cards celebrate four of Frank Lloyd Wright's striking compositions. Twenty assorted 5 x 7" full-color holiday cards (5 each of 4 styles) with envelopes in a decorative box. Set includes Marin Civic Center, Dana House, Nakoma Resort, and Oak Park. ISBN: 0-7649-2489-3.
