WRIGHT FRANK LLOYD: (1867-1959) American Architect, Designer and Writer. Wright created an architectural philosophy he named Organic Architecture. His work Fallingwater (1935) is widely considered the best work of American architecture, and the American Institute of Architects recognized him in 1991 as ''The Greatest American Architect of all time''. A rare and interesting lengthy A.L.S., `Franck Lloyd Wright´, two pages, 8vo, written to first and last page, allowing fine display, small but clean writing, n.p., 24th December 1901, to Sophia Austin Morris. A lengthy autograph letter related to the lecture of a book, stating `I am richer and happier for having read your book´. Wright states in part `Majind insists upon the return of your Jean Paul… He has gone with me to Hillside three different times and has been with me in all sorts of odd moments. I have read him - Fruit, Flowers and Thorns.. Never, will I forget my experience... Previous to that I had been all along charmed and sunned by his genial humor and his persistent inclination to stick a posie anywhere regardless.. but there came a grumble on page 260 - then on page 261 a row of asterisk, - like the ominous hush before the coming storm, - and solemnly deep down, he begins, and gathering wrath and force and power he goes on building up grandly until with a terribly comprehensive reach, he crashes the universe in fragments, at our feet and commands us to look down - and we look, shuddering into a godless chaos.´ further adding an amusing comment `I read these in bed on a Sunday morning (shameless confession) while the church bells were tolling and they never sounded so sweet to me before..´ and before concluding adds `I shall never lose that impression.´ Accompanied by the original envelope in Wright´s hand. Folded, otherwise VG £4000-6000
