Arguably America's best-known architect Frank Lloyd Wright 1867-1959 is famed for his sleek rational designs of houses and buildings nestled in natural surroundings. Across the United States Wright's works embody the precept of Organic Architecture that a project must be constructed in response to the site's landscape with respect for the client's needs and with awareness of local materials. Throughout her career painter Georgia O'Keeffe 1887-1986 created breathtaking works of intimacy simplicity and precision inspired by observations both of the urban environment of New York City and the stark landscapes of the American Southwest. Both Wright and O'Keeffe applied a respect and understanding of nature to their work. Studied together these creators' works bring new insight into how the organic influences the artistic.
