FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT – MARCH BALLOONS

The work of Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is
recognized worldwide as pivotal to the development of modern architecture.
Through a deep understanding of our relationship with the natural world,
Wright’s ideas and designs were inspired by organic forms. His vision, “to make
life more beautiful, the world a better one for living in, and to give rhyme,
reason, and meaning to life” is carried on through the Frank Lloyd Wright
Foundation and represented on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Frank Lloyd Wright created this abstract
design as one of a series of twelve covers based on monthly themes for Liberty
Magazine in 1927. The finished designs were never published because the
magazine thought they were too abstract and radical. In this cover for the
March issue Wright uses one of his favorite geometric shapes, the circle, to
create an assemblage of colorful overlapping balloons.
