Highly influential American architect (1867–1959) whose mastery of space, form, and human-centered design revolutionized the field of architecture and earned him a place among the greatest thinkers and artists of the twentieth century. TLS, signed in-full “Frank Lloyd Wright,” one page, 11 x 8.5, Taliesin letterhead, September 21, 1946. Letter to Federal Housing Administrator Clark Foreman. In full: “We will go over the plans of your house with your suggestions in mind. Intend to be in New York in late October or early November and could perhaps see you and your friend then? Nothing has pleased me more than the opportunity to ‘build you in.’” Wright has made several corrections in his hand. In fine condition, with some light creases and wrinkles and a central vertical fold.
Wright was hired to design Foreman’s Washington D.C. home, going a long way to smooth some ruffled feathers from the cancelation of a 1941 contract for the great architect to construct 100 defense homes in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Foreman publicly supported Wright’s plan, going so far as to send a letter to LIFE magazine, which appeared in the September 6, 1946 issue, explaining how Wright had been wronged, leading to his dislike of politicians—though apparently not Foreman!
