赖特与构成——建筑及装饰设计的“有机线条概念”

Frank Lloyd Wright and Composition——The Architecture and Decorative Design as "Organic Line-ideas

赖特的建筑作品中体现出来的设计原则与当时通常的原则相去甚远,他的建筑思想完全游离与19世纪浪漫主义风格中著名的“日本风格”以外。他的设计思想主要来源于厄内斯特·范诺罗莎(ErnestFenollosa)对日本艺术独特的诠释。事实证明,当范诺罗莎关于日本艺术的分析被阿瑟·道(Arthur Dow)转移到常规艺术教育系统中以后,这种对日本艺术全新的见解直接影响到了赖特的早期作品。范诺罗莎——道关于“合成线形思维”的艺术理论支持赖特以相似的方法完善自己的建筑原则。

Frank Lloyd Wright＇s precise role in his work has remained far from that generally agreed, Although Wright was by no means immune to the kind of romanticism that characterized much popular 19th century ＂apanism＂, his particular interpretation of Japanese art differed significantly from the norm through being underpinned with the ideas of Ernest Fenollosa. Evidence is presented that when Fenollosa＇s analyses of Japanese art were translated into a general system of art education by Arthur Dow, the resulting book, known as Composition, had a direct impact on several of Wright＇s early designs. The Fenollosa-Dow conception of art in the terms of ＂synthetic lineideas＂ appears to have encouraged Wright to take a similar approach to his own discipline.
