Artist

I have chosen Frank Lloyd Wright for my artist research project because i have visited his architecture.  the photo above is of Fallingwater and it's in Pennsylvania.  i have been there a few times with my family on the way to Chicago.  I love his work and i have also visited other homes he designed in Chicago, including his own house.  Wright began his career in Chicago in 1887 and In 1893 he opened an independent practice and became a rising young architect in Chicago.  Wright had trouble in the U.S because of drama with his personal life and the great depression.  not very many pieces were released during the depression but in the 1930s he regained his status as an accepted leader in modern architecture.  Until his death in 1959 at the age of ninety-two, he would build on an unprecedented scale. Although he enjoyed immense fame in his later years, Wright had few distinguished followers. He built unique houses with each project he did and i find him interesting and very smart.  He designed things by himself and it shows his personality through his architecture.  Frank Lloyd Wright was an architect but he was also an artist and some sort of sculptor i think, because he can utilize the space surrounding his project and let the nature around the building give the home character.  I enjoy reserching and  looking at more of his work because none of it is the same and it is all very interesting and beautiful.
