Frank Lloyd Wright: Designs for an American Landscape, 1922-1932

http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/flw/ Architecture is the triumph of Human Imagination over materials, methods, and men, to put man into possession of his own Earth. It is at least the geometric pattern of things, of life, of the human and social world. It is at best that magic framework of reality that we sometimes touch upon when we use the word 'order.' - Frank Lloyd Wright, 1930, 1937 The "Frank Lloyd Wright: Designs for an American Landscape, 1922-1932" physical exhibition opened November 14, 1996, in the Madison Gallery, Madison Building, Library of Congress, and closed February 15, 1997.

(Neuilly is a small leafy suburb of Paris.)
