The Inhabitants, Wright Morris, 1st Edition, Scribner's, 1946
About the Item
First Edition, published by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York & London, 1946.
"The Inhabitants" is a stunning collection of photographs by the acclaimed artist and writer Wright Morris, capturing the essence of small-town America in the mid-20th century. Morris's images are at once intimate and universal, revealing the humanity and complexity of everyday people and places.
From the dusty streets of rural Nebraska to the bustling sidewalks of Chicago, Morris's lens is drawn to the details of life that might otherwise go unnoticed -- a weathered storefront, a tattered American flag, a child's toy abandoned in a field. Through his images, he invites us to see the beauty and poetry in the ordinary.
Accompanied by Morris's own evocative and insightful commentary, "The Inhabitants" is a masterful work of art, a timeless portrait of a bygone era, and a testament to the power of the camera to capture the essence of our world.

- Frank Lloyd Wright American Architect of the Twentieth Century Book 1st Ed.1993By (after) Frank Lloyd WrightLocated in North Hollywood, CAFrank Lloyd Wright American Architect of the Twentieth century 1993. by Robin Langley Sommer. 1st Edition, hardcover book. Frank Lloyd Wright: American Architect for the Twentieth Century Hardcover book. Frank Lloyd Wright is recognized as a dominant figure in the history of modern architecture. His life and revolutionary work is described in this volume filled with more than 180 photographs illustrating 60 of his most-beloved buildings. An impressive, beautifully illustrated volume examines the creations of America's beloved architect, including interior furnishings, stunning private homes, and unique public buildings, with an introduction providing insight into his private life as well as his enduring work. Publisher ? : ? Smithmark Pub Language ? : ? English Item Weight ? : ? 3.6 pounds Dimensions ? : ? 11 x 0.75 x 14.75 inches. Recognized as a dominant figure in the history of modern architecture and the greatest design influenced in the United States during the first half of the twentieth century, Frank Lloyd Wright created, during his long and prolific career, a unique body of work that endures to this day. Beginning in 1889 with the design for his own house in Oak Park, Illinois, and continuing with hundreds of designs for residential, commercial, ecclesiastical, educational and civic structures, Wright's varied architecture is unified only by the underlying organized principles of change and innovation. Revolutionizing residential architecture with the disparate expressions of his simple creed, "out of the ground and into the light! Wright's houses feature a sense of unity and privacy, an a free flow of interior space. Wright sought synthesis in his projects by designing whenever possible, everything from furniture, art glass and lighting fixtures to table lines, carpets and carports. In his Prairies Houses, textile-block structures and Usonian houses, culminating in his masterpiece, Fallingwater, Wright experimented with forms, materials and technology in ever-evolving designs. Wright designed such ambitious commercial masterworks as the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, the Arizona Biltmore Hotel, the S.C. Johnson and Son Administration Building and Research Tower, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum-the alter for which he is perhaps best known. This volume pays tribute to the life and works of frank Lloyd Wright with more than 180 photographs illustrating 60 selected buildings, complemented by a descriptive and incisive text.
