Waterlilies
Frank Lloyd Wright's Waterlilies is thought to be designed for an art glass screen around 1893-1895, but was never produced. This early example epitomizes Wright's ability to incorporate themes from nature, and exemplifies his philosophy of connecting the natural world into his architecture and designs.
The window features an intricate pattern of abstracted lily pads and flowers rendered in a vibrant color palette, including greens, blues, and yellows. The organic forms and flowing lines of the design reflect Wright's commitment to integrating nature into his architectural work. Wright’s attention to detail and his ability to harmonize art with architecture create a cohesive environment that blurs the boundaries between the indoor and outdoor realms. Waterlilies remains a celebrated example of Wright's innovative approach to design, symbolizing his enduring legacy in the world of architecture.
