- Physical Description
- One of a pair of windows with a highly regular, rectilinear, although asymetric, design in both clear and colored glass. Window has an oak frame. Window design consists of vertical and horizontal bands of green and amber colorerd glass at top and bottom of window; along one side are colored squares of glass; along the other is a chevron-shaped column of glass. The overall effect is of colored pieces of glass suspended within a clear window subdivided by abstract bands and patterns of lead caming.
- Subject Matter
- The Darwin Martin house was considered by Wright to be one of the most important and satisfying houses he build in the early part of his career and stands as an outstanding example of Prairie School architecture. This pair of windows (1968/2.53-53) from the first floor of the Martin house contain an abstracted pattern based on wisteria, seen in the vertical row of chevron-patterned glass.
