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.

Sounds right to me, at least, as I can't get Wright's initial Usonian material palette out of my head . . .

Edgar jr. reports, in his long piece in "La Casa sulla Cascata," an occasion when his mother had some women in for tea, either from Pittsburgh or more locally, and one of them posed the earnest question, "Will it be difficult to fit the wallpaper over this rough stonework ?"
