简介

这是一部开创性的著作，将艺术家乔治亚·欧姬芙与建筑师弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特并置，揭示了两位二十世纪美国文化偶像之间鲜为人知的联系。他们虽非竞争对手，也非直接合作者，却在各自的艺术与建筑领域中平行发展。建筑史学家Sarah Rovang编织了两人引人入胜的人生故事，审视了两人之间新发现的关联，包括自1933年起往来的约二十余封书信，这些信件表达了彼此间的钦佩以及他们对共同热爱的土地——尤其是美国西南部沙漠与日本——的激情。两人都出生于威斯康星州的乡村，职业生涯起步于芝加哥和纽约，却都在更遥远的地方寻求灵感与精神归宿。通过对二人传记与作品中共同点的图像并置，本书探讨了艺术友谊的本质和“家”的概念，为读者欣赏欧姬芙与赖特对美国文化的巨大贡献提供了全新的视角。

A richly illustrated exploration of newfound connections between American cultural icons Georgia O'Keeffe and Frank Lloyd Wright. This groundbreaking volume places the artist and architect side by side, shedding light on their lives, work, and mutual love of the American desert. Georgia O’Keeffe and Frank Lloyd Wright were neither competitors nor direct collaborators. Yet these romantic heroes of twentieth-century art and architecture largely operated in parallel. In this seminal book, Rovang weaves together their compelling life stories, examining newly discovered links between them—including roughly two dozen letters exchanged from 1933 onward—and, in the process, offering a fresh perspective on their work, their intermittent yet poignant friendship, and their closeness to the desert. Both were born in rural Wisconsin and built their careers in Chicago and New York. However, both sought inspiration and fulfillment in places farther afield, including in Japan and the desert landscape of the American Southwest. Juxtaposing images highlighting shared aspects of their individual biographies and work, this unique take on American creative expression explores the nature of artistic friendship and the idea of 'home.' Rovang's text gives rich context to the allure and romance of her visual subject, offering readers new ways to appreciate O'Keeffe's and Wright's monumental contributions to American culture.
