Organic Commandment Stained Glass: Four Virtues in Glass
Frank Lloyd Wright set down his philosophy of organic living in a famous statement of 1940. This Organic Commandment stained glass panel reproduces his poster design. It is meant to stand near your own center of inspiration.
The Frank Lloyd Wright Organic Commandment pairs four virtues with four human faculties. Love belongs to the heart, sincerity to the mind, decision to the will, and courage to the spirit.
By 1940 Wright had completed Fallingwater and begun Taliesin West. The statement shows that organic ideas guided his life as well as his buildings.
Wright's Organic Philosophy in Words

Frank Lloyd Wright in Brief
Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was born in Wisconsin and trained under Louis Sullivan in Chicago. In his Oak Park studio he developed the Prairie style, with low horizontal lines and open interiors. He designed buildings as whole environments, down to the furniture, textiles, and art glass. He created well over 4,000 leaded glass windows and doors, which he called light screens. His later work includes Fallingwater and the Guggenheim Museum, and his influence reaches far beyond architecture.
