Frank Lloyd Wright was an American architect and designer who is widely regarded as one of the greatest architects of the 20th century. He was born on June 8, 1867, in Richland Center, Wisconsin, and passed away on April 9, 1959. Wright's work spanned over seven decades and included a diverse range of architectural styles. Wright's design philosophy was rooted in the concept of "organic architecture," which aimed to integrate buildings harmoniously with their natural surroundings. He believed that architecture should be in harmony with nature, using natural materials and incorporating open spaces, light, and geometric forms. One of Wright's most famous works is the Fallingwater house, located in Pennsylvania. Completed in 1937, Fallingwater is a prime example of Wright's organic architecture, as it appears to seamlessly blend into the natural landscape, with cantilevered terraces and balconies overlooking a waterfall. Wright also designed a series of distinctive, low-slung homes called "Prairie Houses," which emphasized horizontal lines, open floor plans, and integration with the surrounding landscape. These houses, characterized by their strong geometric shapes and extensive use of natural materials, became a signature of Wright's work. In addition to residential architecture, Wright also designed public buildings, museums, and commercial spaces. Some notable examples include the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, which features a unique spiral design, and the Unity Temple in Illinois, known for its bold geometric shapes and innovative use of reinforced concrete. Wright's influence on the field of architecture is profound and enduring. His innovative designs, focus on natural materials, and commitment to harmonious integration with the environment continue to inspire architects and designers to this day. Frank Lloyd Wright's contributions to architecture have left an indelible mark on the built environment and continue to be celebrated as iconic works of art.Measures 15 x 12.

"Hiroshi Sugimoto (born 1948) is a Japanese photographer and architect known for his minimalist and conceptual photographic works. He was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, and later moved to the United States to pursue his artistic career. Sugimoto's photography often explores themes of time, memory, and the perception of reality.

These images capture the duration of an entire film screening in a single photograph, reducing the cinematic experience to a single frame.Throughout his career, Sugimoto has also explored other subjects, such as architectural landmarks, museum dioramas, and Buddhist sculptures. His work often blurs the boundaries between photography, sculpture, and installation art, and his meticulous attention to composition and technical precision is a hallmark of his style. Sugimoto's photography has been exhibited internationally and is part of numerous public and private collections. He has received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to the field of contemporary photography, and his work continues to be highly influential and widely celebrated in the art world.
