My current penchant for the hyper-focused study of Frank Lloyd Wright continues. I hope I don't burn out on enjoying the masterworks of the greatest American artist. However, I do believe he's deep enough to withstand my obsessive attention. Take for instance, this fantastic insight for any artist -- the relationship of the concept of repose to the concept of artistic unity:

"Out of unity comes a great repose always.  Repose, in any sense anywhere, is due to unity of sometime, somewhere, and somehow. So out of unity comes repose and out of repose comes your enjoyment of the environment, of your home, as you live in it." -- Frank Lloyd Wright
