Happy Birthday Frank Lloyd Wright

Karel Teige (ed.), ReD. Revue Svazu moderní kultury Devětsil [ReD: Review of the Union for Modern Culture Devětsil], 1927-1931.

Space is the breath of art.—Frank Lloyd Wright

Avant-garde Czech book design sprang from the Devětsil Artistic Union, a highly influential group of avant-garde poets, writers, artists, and designers active from 1920 to 1931. ReD, the most important of Devětsil ’s journals, published work by leading names in the fields of writing, art, and architecture, among them poetry by Mallarmé and Apollinaire; prose by James Joyce; reproductions of art by Arp, Chagall, Kandinsky, Brancusi, Mondrian and El Lissitzky; and articles on the architecture of Le Corbusier, Gropius, and Frank Lloyd Wright.

The Libraries catalog also feature many interesting titles about the idiosyncratic architect.—Elizabeth Periale
