There are few books I would recommend as highly as Kevin Nute's
Frank Lloyd Wright and Japan: The Role of Traditional Japanese Art and Architecture in the Work of Frank Lloyd Wright (1994). When I first came across that book, I was researching
Gestalt theory in relation to
camouflage. It was Nute who showed the
embedded figure connections between Arthur Wesley Dow's "organic line ideas," traditional Asian lattice motifs, and Wright's floor plans.
I have learned recently that
Kevin Nute will be talking about
Wright in Japan at the
Architectural Interpretive Center in Mason City IA, at 7:00 pm on
Tuesday, July 10, 2018. The event is free and open to the public.
