     " . . . In 1929, Anita Delano, a founding member of the UCLA art faculty, wrote to her friend Sonia Delaunay in Paris concerning the situation in Los Angeles:

     ""He [Stanton Macdonald-Wright] said to tell you he was hiding away in a cave in Santa Monica by the sea. I will tell you he's painting some splendid things . . . he is still interested profoundly in oriental art . . . In architecture here in Los Angeles there are a few leaders. Quite a number of buildings by Frank Lloyd Wright and some by his son. There are two men, R.M. Schindler and Richard Neutra who represent tendencies similar to Corbusier & Gropius . . . ""
