The ideals of Louis Sullivan underpinned the revolutionary architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. As Sullivan's assistant, Wright spent many hours drawing and discussing the architectural ornament that was, for Sullivan, the clearest medium for the expression of his ideas.
These sublime ornaments were created between 1881-1887. The abstractions of nature underlying the ornaments can be discerned, along with the symmetrical patterns and crystalline structures that FLLW developed into his unified "Prairie" architecture.
