This book is not a biography of Frank Lloyd Wright but rather an investigation into Wright's philosophy of design and space. McCarter (architecture, Univ. of Florida) dulls his attempt, however, by writing a chronological narrative in the irritating manner of a tour guide, using the first-person plural "we." The reader is bombarded with descriptions of sizes and shapes of rooms and hallways, heights of ceilings, and textures of concrete slabs; there is so much minutiae that it is impossible to see the theory through the clutter. The book is filled with beautiful photographs and illustrations, as most books on Wright's works are, but they do not aid in the tour, and often we are left to our own imagination concerning the appearances of rooms and their decor. The author does offer valid insights into Wright's philosophy, but these expositions are buried under page after page of details. More discussion and less description would have greatly improved this book. Recommended only for specialized architectural and interior design libraries; general collections should consider Neil Levine's The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright (LJ 6/1/96).?Glenn Masuchika, Chaminade Univ.

Frank lloyd wright
Of all the books that have appeared in the last 10 years on Frank Lloyd Wright and his architecture, this is the one that will last. It is in all ways comprehensive: its text is as organized and complete as a set of blueprints; its striking pictures of projects as small as the modest Usonian houses or as grand as the Guggenheim Museum are arranged in order by the visual information they reveal about each project; and even its copyediting is noticeably coherent, with dates just where one expects such details to be, in the first picture captions for each project. The book as a whole is so carefully conceived that, reading it, one knows exactly where to look for any particular bit of history. And while, for casual readers, the essays may offer too much to digest at first, Robert McCarter's prose is agile and passionate. "Wright understood buildings to be the background or framework for human existence," he writes. "Architecture gave dignity to daily life." --Margaret MoormanÉPUISÉVOIR PRODUIT95,00 € -

JONAS WOOD
Résumé : In little more than a decade, Jonas Wood has established himself as one of the most talented and original painters of his generation. Exploring a variety of subjects that include friends, family members, sport celebrities, landscapes, domestic interiors, plants, his own work as well as that of other artists, Wood has developed a representational style where overlapping textures and disorienting compressions of space contribute to create images that transmit a universal sense of familiarity, even when they are deeply private. Defined by an awareness of the predominant role of photography in contemporary culture, yet deeply indebted to the history of painting and the possibilities still therein, a meaningful engagement and exploration with the present emerges. Wood's work challenges the notion of visual authenticity through a process of combining elements from different sources to create an image that is uniquely his. His works constitute a reflection of our present time while paying tobute to the great artists that have influenced Wood's practice, from modern masters Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, to California cantor David Hockney, and the celebrated duo of ceramists Michael Frimkess and Magdalena Suarez Frimkess In the Interview Mark Grotjahn and the artist discuss their backgrounds and how they were able to turn their passion into a profession while getting acquainted with the dynamics of the art world Helen Molesworth's Survey is a profound and comprehensive analysis of the historical context in which Wood's practice developed, and how the various elements that compose the fabric of his life inform his paintings. Ian Alteveer focuses on Wood's proclivity for representing interiors and how these resonate with the rest of his work and history of art in general. The comprehensive and previously unpublished selection of images in Studio Visit offers a rare insight into the artist's working environment, his process and sources of inspiration. Finally, Artist's Writings include excerpts from conversations with Corrina Peipon, Katy Donoghue and Jeong Yun Hyeong.ÉPUISÉVOIR PRODUIT39,95 €
