Wright's most sophisticated and challenging window designs were composed of what he called "dancing" triangles. He first designed them for Midway Gardens, a cultural and entertainment complex in Chicago. Similar windows were the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, but never executed, and for Hollyhock House in Los Angeles. |
Wright hung these asymmetrical "dancing" triangles in vertical lines or scattered them through the top of a pattern like the facets of a shattered crystal. The asymmetries and bold palettes of these windows demonstrate his final mastery of the centuries-old craft.
