Thoughtful text uncovers the social, economic, and cultural influences that shaped Wright's art, while extensive photographs, plans, and drawings illustrate how each project evolved.* Visit the iconic and inspirational Fallingwater, Wright's residential masterpiece, and see how the building epitomizes his theme of harmony with nature.
