Description: "In the early 1950s, having just received a Guggenheim Fellowship, John Szarkowski set out to photograph the major buildings of Louis Sullivan. The photographs - declared by Frank Lloyd Wright, a protege of Sullivan's, as "the best photographs of a Sullivan building that I have ever seen" - are augmented by a profile of Sullivan and excerpts from Sullivan's writings and contemporary sources in an attempt to capture the mind and spirit of the man, and the time and place."--BOOK JACKET.
