Personal Review: Stained Glass Window Designs of Frank
Lloyd Wright (Dover Coloring Book) by Dennis Casey
I personally have spoken several times with Mr. Casey over the telephone.
I've made some of the designs which are easy to work from in his books
and he is very upfront about the glass availabilities,where to get the
caming - - which the smallest triangular caming is no longer available as
he's aware also from source in Chicago. Their machine die's are worn and
no longer make accurate runs of it. I had to use next largest size. The
results are very nice and worth it.
I'm glad someone with the abilitiy to do 'architecturally' accurate drawings
took the time to do so and with the accuracy of ZEUS....Dennis is
wonderful. We hope only to someday find any one of the over 150+ panels
and over 80 sets of french doors done in artglass from the Midway
Gardens project torn down after the prohibition years. The colors were
clear, red, white, black however the exact orientation of the colors is left up
to some interpretation. I've tried to get closer by comparing known photos
of the multiple sets of panel types & sizes used along with the actual
designs as drawn by Mr. Wright which vary in detail some from the
completed glasswork done in Chicago. The Glass maker is still unknown
but assumed as one of the larger in town and the drawings from their firms
no longer exist to anyones knowledge so far in researching this now for
several years. Should anyone out there actually possess one of these
panels or door panels please contact one of the larger collections in the
country for exhibiting it. None have ever been found or known about in the
art world so far.
PLEASE add this book and Dennis' other books to your collection if you
are a serious ARTGLASS and Frank Lloyd Wright buff. I highly
recommend them. bravo ---encore please Dennis!
