Synopsis
One of America's great architecture critics writes about one of the greatest architects in this brief consideration by Ada Louise Huxtable of the life of Frank Lloyd Wright (1869-1959). In exploring Wright's lurid life, she does not neglect Wright's well-documented flaws, including many instances of anti-Semitism and an all-pervasive haughtiness. But she stresses his genius and his creativity, expressed over and over again in buildings that were wonderfully innovative, and that changed architecture forever.
