Description
Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959) is recognized worldwide as one of the greatest architects of
the 20th century.
Believing the architect should create total environments, Frank Lloyd Wright's designs included art glass windows, furniture, and lighting.
In 1927, Wright designed a series of twelve seasonally themed monthly covers for Liberty magazine. The magazine deemed the covers too avant-garde and returned them to Wright. March Balloons is based on one of these covers.
