“Will Price”

Grasping the Possibilities of the New Life

Join Bruce Laverty, adjunct professor, Pennoni Honors College and the Westphal College of Media Arts and Design, Drexel University.

In 1930, architect George Howe, lamented that “America has always been the land of the lone prophet, without much but posthumous honor in their own country.” He believed the first American architects to fully comprehend the “spiritual consequences” of their work were Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan and Will Price. Wright and Sullivan emerged from the obscurity that Howe decried, but not Price.  Laverty will examine the pivotal role that Rose Valley’s Will Price played in American art, architecture, and self-identity. He will review recent successful efforts to shine a light on this “lone prophet” and discuss what Price can teach us today.
