"Frank Lloyd Wright has been studied from what seems to have been every possible angle. But this book is the first to focus on Wright's professional persona - that of an architect and designer enmeshed in a web of connections between prominent public figures and competing ideologies. Robert McCarter distils Wright's life and work into a concise account that explains both the beliefs and relationships so powerfully reflected in his architecture and interior design." "McCarter explores Wright's relationships with key leaders of art, industry and society, and how their views came to have solid significance in Wright's work and writings. In addition, he dissects Wright's idealistic passions, not least his belief in the ethical duty of architects to strive to advance society and culture. This is a superb account of the dynamic relationships and principles that lie at the base of a modern master's inventive success, from Fallingwater to the Guggenheim Museum."--Jacket.
