Organic Form

“True ornament is not a matter of prettifying externals. It is organic
with the structure it adorns, whether a person, a building, or a park.”
Frank Lloyd Wright 1867-1959

Wright may be right but we used this pumpkin to prettify our interior
for last year’s October festivities.

This week’s Corner View theme is “organic form”. See how things are shaping up in the blogs below. Thanks to Theresa for hosting.

  5. Love Wright's quote -- we have a Civic Center in San Rafael designed by him, and the building is true to his words.

  7. This was a clever way to see a form, through a photographer's eyes. A good one Don. xo

  9. Nice shot! I love that it isn't pumpkinny-orange colored (that would be so typical). And the puckered surface...

  10. can't go wrong with Wright, great choice for organic, and it's quite a great white pumpkin:)
    (my comment came out organically corny, must be the week!)

  13. Somehow because of the absence of colour you're more aware of the shape, veeeery organic indeed :)

  14. so wrong at the market or the kitchen with those tortuous curves, so right on a wall or in a corner view!

    thanks for the nice comment!

  15. Nature certainly is a creative artist! That's quite a pumpkin. I also always love the quotes you include. Where do you find them!
