Artel Gallery looks at Frank Lloyd Wright
Artel continues its Art Explorations series on Wednesday, August 22, 2007, at 5:30 pm with a presentation by Suzette Doyon, Ph. D., entitled "How did Frank Lloyd Wright's 'Mayan Temples' land in Japan?"
Frank Lloyd Wright always claimed that his architectural designs were "absolute originals." To his contemporaries,Wright would vehemently deny the presence of any outside influence in his architecture, other than that which came from Nature herself! The architect even dismissed the possibility that his close knowledge of Japanese construction might have contributed to his mature style.
