The Hagans retained the table after the sale to Palumbo. The cypress table is back in place. https://books.google.com/books?id=xrVJEcYSRf8C&pg=PA93&lpg=PA93&dq=what+happened+to+the+nakashima+table+at+kentuck+knob&source=bl&ots=MUv911MdM_&sig=CozTNexo4fjEaUDaRqLsA_7gJcQ&hl...

And the floor lamp shown is by Walter von Nessen.

Cabinet at rear left by Nakashima, mini stool- probably African, chair in front of fireplace "W2" by Hans Wegner, small sofa #53 and chair at right #45 (both for Niels Vodder) by Finn Juhl.

That all makes sense...

Isn't Wingspread more the uber-Usonian? The virtuostic masterpiece Fallingwater is a bit of an anomaly, much like Picasso's Guernica is to the more typical portraits.

From Steiner Ag "In 1936, Wright developed a series of homes he called Usonian. They were designed to control costs. Wright's Usonian houses had no attics, no basements, and little ornamentation. He continued to develop the concept, and in the early 1950s he first used the term Usonian Automati...

That might be Futagawa's term, but is there any indication that Wright himself said this or stopped referring to his fifties houses as Usonians?

My opinion, based on many years of dealing with unpainted exterior redwood in California and more recently at the Lamberson house in Iowa, is that oil is the way to go. It will certainly darken the color over time, but definitely slow down the deterioration of the wood. If no finish is used, the woo...

Arlo! Thanks...

Sure is. The dining table is placed on the opposite wall allowing the French doors to continue along the exterior wall. Jacobs has the doors off of the living room instead. The bedroom configuration is a bit different, but the living, dining kitchen is very similar.

Hear, hear.

This is exactly why serious studies of how fascism came about in Europe are not complete without psychological as well as the more obvious political analysis. The two are connected at the hip.

That's exactly it: authoritarianism. It's not ideas, character or qualifications. The careful nuance and thoughtfulness of someone like Obama (not to mention his skin color), left many wanting for the simplest of solutions, something they could comprehend with a minimum amount of effort. "I'll ...

Maybe Olgivanna was keeping track of who gave what, in order to write the obligatory thank you notes? Was there the possibility for couples to live together out of wedlock? Or was that still unthinkable? I've read that Wright would analyze, dissect, and evaluate the apprentice made presents given to...
