| Summary |
"In Work song, tensions between master architect and Frank Lloyd Wright and his tempestuous relationships are explored in this uniquely prismatic view of one of the great architects of the modern era. Over the course of a 70-year career, Wright brought a radical approach to architecture, creating a new vision of what a building should and could be. Interior and exterior spaces related both to each other, their natural environment, and to the people who moved between, and lived within them. He created some of the most monumental and intimate spaces in America, designing everything from banks and office buildings to churches, a filling-station, and a beer garden. His masterpieces include the house Fallingwater and the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Wright once remarked : 'I've been accused of saying I was the greatest architect in the world, and if I said so, I don t think it would be very arrogant, because I don t believe there are many great architects if any. For 500 years what we call architecture has been phony.' But in contrast to the beauty and harmony of his buildings, Wright himself could be cruel and violent. His private life was marked by financial and emotional turmoil, and, with the brutal slaying of his wife, her children, and other members of the household, appalling tragedy."--Leaf A.
