There are happy hybrid occasions when history and art combine. Frank Lloyd Wright's Oak Park Home and Studio, besides being a work of art, albeit of domestic modesty, was the first-act setting for a drama of the inventive imagination that changed the course of architecture. No literate person can stand in those rooms without seeing ghosts; without hearing the arguments, the laughter, the ideas about how to live and build and make art, that are now part of everybody's history. Arthur Drexler Former Director of Architecture and Design The Museum of Modern Art, New York Wright compressed more and more values into the horizontal line and plane: sympathy with the prairie, repose, simplicity, intimacy of scale, broadness of vista, freedom, the easy accommodation of the flow and ebb of American life, quiet domesticity and streamlined modernity.
