March Balloons
In 1927, Frank Lloyd Wright was requested to do a series of twelve monthly covers
based on seasonal themes for Liberty magazine. (more)
The finished designs were never published because they were thought to be too radical and avant-garde. In this cover for the March issue, Wright reveals his life-long interest in and affection for geometrical shapes, in particular, the circle. At first appearing as an assemblage of colorful balloons, this design celebrates Wright’s belief that a circle represents wholeness and completeness, a vision evident in Wright’s architectural legacy.
