In 1948, Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger, wanted to have a house built and approached Wright to design it. Wright declined, lamenting the smallness of the project. She then approached Arthur Brown who designed her house which is now a registered building on the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

The Tuscon Watercolor Guild was founded by Gerry Peirce in 1947.

Perhaps it was at Sanger’s home that Peirce and Brown established their friendship. It would appear that this book represents the convergence of three of Tuscon Arizona’s most notable residents: Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sangert, the notable artist and founder of the Tuscon Watercolor Guild, Gerry Peirce, and Arthur Brown, one of the pioneers of environmental architecture.
