The work of Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is recognized worldwide as pivotal to the development of modern architecture. Through a deep understanding of our relationship with the natural world, Wright?s ideas and designs were inspired by organic forms. His vision, ?to make life more beautiful, the world a better one for living in, and to give rhyme, reason, and meaning to life? is carried on through the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and represented on the World Heritage List.
?April Showers? is an abstract representation of spring rain. The dynamic arrangement of angled squares, along with a repeating pattern of circles at their intersections, may have been influenced by Japanese prints he collected. Also in this piece, two of the angled squares resemble cages, each containing an abstract bird figure.
