Haskell, Douglas | December 3, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article throws light on the World's Fair at Chicago in 1933. The main attraction of the Fair is the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. For Frank Lloyd Wright's position today is unique in American art. He is perhaps the only artist we have who for thirty years has been sending a powerful original impulse around the whole world from the U.S. In painting and sculpture the U.S. has admittedly been indebted to France; in literature it has been pursuing its own ends; but in architecture, through "this one man and him only, the U.S. has stood at the forefront of an international development.
