Are those organ pipes? Reminds me of them but they are not normally uniform because of tone differences. Mr Wright's love of symmetry here again. Lovely.
@Taffy@ludwigsdiana@mbrutus@pamknowler@angelikavr@casablanca@bkbinthecity@haskar@quietpurplehaze -- thank you all for your lovely comments and favs. I've been immersing myself in Frank Lloyd Wright architecture this week, as you can tell. We are fortunate to have so many FLW places in Chicago. @casablanca -- I think I recall seeing the pipes BEHIND the wood decorative part, but I'll check for sure next time when I go there with @Taffy and @ukandie . @quietpurplehaze -- FLW and CRM were contemporaries in time but because information didn't travel as readily they knew of each other but probably were not necessarily influenced by each other. I find CRM to include more curvy, decorative and even floral elements which soften the overall look and add more interest to me. I have often wondered if it was due to the influence of his wife, an artist.
I understand what you say about CRM's style being more curvy, decorative etc. We are great fans of his work ever since our daughter, who lives in Glasgow, introduced us to his designs and we have visited a few properties including House for an Art Lover. One summer we went on a little pilgrimage to follow his last years in the south of France and visit newly opened exhibition spaces there. Thank you for sharing these lovely photos.
