Adding to the Confusion
Adding to the confusion of who really designed the Arizona Biltmore hotel is this Frank Lloyd Wright designed stained glass window that was installed in the lobby of the hotel in 1973. The original FLW design was created for a magazine cover but students of Taliesin fabricated it and made it into this gorgeous stained glass window. The name of this piece is "Saguaro forms and Cactus Flowers" It's probably my favorite thing in the hotel. It looks much better this size instead of the small version from 10 years ago.
I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today. I'm looking at the new addition to the Tate Modern.
It is a beautiful piece of art, I like it very much.
ReplyDeleteThat IS an amazing window.
ReplyDeleteGosh it's gorgeous Sharon, incroyable colour and design. Very clever of the students to make a copy of the original ✨
ReplyDeleteit's gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt is terrific stained glass, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteI like that stained glass as well. Very creative.
ReplyDeleteLovely, they changed the flooring and it looks much better now.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous piece of art, very pretty and impressive.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty, Sharon! I have a small piece of stained glass with FLR design so I must go and look to see if it is similar to this design.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular. I've bought a few small reproductions of FLW windows over the years but this one is the most complex and engaging of all.
ReplyDeleteLove, love. love this window!! Oh, to be so talented!!
