Taliesin Talks—Frank Lloyd Wright’s Encounters with Japan
August 5, 2020
Taliesin West
Frank Lloyd Wright admitted to only three influences: Louis Sullivan, the Froebel Gifts and the Japanese print. This Taliesin Talk will focus on the latter and look at how the principles Wright discovered underlying this ephemeral popular art form offer lessons far beyond the medium.
