This stylized design of waterlilies, common in the tranquil ponds of the Midwest, is adapted from one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s drawings and is thought to be designed for an art glass screen in 1895 but never produced. This early example shows how Wright often pulled themes from nature and endeavored to connect the natural world to his architecture and art.
Frank Lloyd Wright was born in Richland Center, Wisconsin in 1867, and Taliesin, his home, studio and country estate, is located in the hilly Driftless Region of southwestern Wisconsin near Spring Green. Wright's “Prairie style” became the basis of 20th-century residential design in the United States, and his furniture, art, and writing was crucial to twentieth-century architectural development and has a profound influence on the decorative arts to this day.
Throughout his lifetime, Frank Lloyd Wright designed nearly 150 buildings for the state of Wisconsin, about 60 of them were built, and only 43 are still in existence today.
