  • Frank Lloyd Wright House, 1949
    Allen Memorial Art Museum Teacher Resource Packet – Frank Lloyd Wright House, 1949 Frank Lloyd Wright (American, 1867 – 1959) Weltzheimer/Johnson House, 1949 Redwood, brick, glass, concrete American architect Frank Lloyd Wright is regarded as one of the greatest modern architects, with a career spanning over fifty years. He is best known for his Prairie Style homes, which emphasized a long, horizontal line and organic incorporation into the surroundings, inspired by the prairie of the Midwest. Through the course of his life, Wright became equally well known for his personal life as his architecture. Biography Frank Lloyd Wright was born in 1867 in rural Wisconsin, the son of a lawyer and a teacher. Dying in 1959 at the age of 91, he was regarded as one of the most prolific and acclaimed architects of all time. His early childhood was marked by his parents’ divorce in 1885, after which his mother lavished the young Wright with affection. He left his home to attend the University of Wisconsin, Madison for two terms before leaving for Chicago to try his luck with architecture. His earliest experience once there was with the architect Joseph Lyman Silsbee, an architect of religious buildings. Perhaps one of Wright’s most influential early working experiences was with Adler and Sullivan firm. Louis Sullivan was one of the most respected architects of the day, known for his mysticism and towering steel skyscrapers. Terming the phrase, “form follows function,” Sullivan was a direct influence on Wright’s development of his famous Prairie Style. Wright in 1947, the same year construction began on the W/J House Wright was deeply dedicated to the idea of an ‘organic’ architecture which would integrate nature, man, and design into a unified and interrelated final product.
