March Balloons
Frank Lloyd Wright created this abstract design as one of a series of twelve covers based on monthly themes for Liberty Magazine in 1927. The finished designs were never published because the magazine thought they were too abstract and radical.
Frank Lloyd Wright's March Balloons is a vibrant celebration of spring. The design features a series of colorful, balloon-like shapes that float across the composition, symbolizing the joy and renewal associated with the arrival of spring. The arrangement of these forms creates a sense of movement and lightness, reminiscent of balloons rising into the sky. The cheerful palette of pastels reflects the vibrancy and the excitement of new beginnings, encapsulating the essence of spring, reminding us of the beauty and joy inherent in life’s transitions. Wright’s use of simplicity and balance within the design explores his belief in the interconnectedness of art and the natural world.
