Reviews

[Topaz · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is from a museum exhibit where a select number of Wright's drawings were taken from the archives and published. It is a smaller book with small reproductions, mostly in color. It is nice to see his drawings in one book, but there have since been numerous other publications that do a better job than this book. Other books show a more complete and thorough selection, with higher quality color reproduction, and larger format.
