As an architect and lifelong Wright aficionado (with a book about him of my own in progress) I always enjoy another authors reflection on the enigma that is Mr. Wright. His life span encompassed almost the whole of modern times since the industrial revolution. Few visionaries live long enough to see their inspirations adopted. Wright steered us into open plans, windows that actually brought the outside-in, he acknowledged and embraced contemporary transportation, communications, lifestyles and thought. You probably live in a dwelling influenced by his thinking and his buildings; ranch houses anyone, carports, compact kitchens, built-in furniture, inside-outside living, solar heated homes, the list goes on.This book is an abbreviated look at Wright, a good read if you don't have the time or inclination to to read Meryle Secrest's Frank Lloyd Wright or Brendan Gill's Many Masks, both more a in-depth look at Mr. Wright. Highly recommended, good reading.
History of the architect's life with some explanation of how the national economy & history affected his endeavors. Didn't realize he was such an unkind personality.
Instructive!
Book came in perfect condition. Great series. Thank you!
This is a perfect way to get to know Frank Lloyd Wright. It gives insight into his personality and simple descriptions of his buildings. It would have been nice to have more illustrations.
I was looking for facts and this book has them.
I didn't even finish the book. It was probably my expectations of how I viewed Frank Lloyd Wright before I even started reading the book. To find out what a horrible human being he was was not what I wanted to know. I wanted information on how he developed his unique style of home design. He was a cad and a misanthrope. What a disaster of a human being with all his debt and dishonesty. Ultimately, he gave us the beautiful buildings but he was a lousy individual.
Frank Lloyd Wright: Up CloseBY:JAN ADKINSEvery Success Story Begins With A Solid Foundation Regardless his profession as an architect, Frank Lloyd Wright did not have a solid foundation early on. Frank is born in Richland Center, WI on June 8th, 1867. 18 years later, the road begins to get rocky when Frank’s parents’ divorce. After the departure, Frank’s mother beats him regularly and so, Frank is forced to go to Chicago. Without any architectural background but the Froebel wooden blocks he possessed as a child, Wright designs his home and marries a Catherine Lee Tobi. A few years later, he sets up a firm and begins designing what will be his breakthrough… Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois. Then, in 1909 he makes his family and clients’ life go through a rocky-road when he surprisingly ditches them to go to Europe with a client’s wife (Mamah Cheney). With her, he moved into luxurious villa in Fiesole, Italy. He obviously couldn’t afford it but…why would he care…He Was The “Undefeatable Frankâ€â€¦or so he thought. Upon returning… he set out to build the magnificent and perfect Taliesin (modelled after the Italian Villa). However only three years later, Taliesin servants light the dining hall on fire and slaughter everyone including Mamah… “The Undefeatable Frank†had been on a business trip. After rebuilding Taliesin, Frank had another affair with a woman the name of Noel and they lived in Japan together while Wright worked on construction of The Imperial Hotel. And, surprise-surprise, he separates with Noel and Wright marries Olgivanna Lazovich (Russian Opera singer). Yet again, Taliesin burns due to wiring and is rebuilt. Around this time, Wright also makes the designs for Fallingwater (a house that is…hence the name…built over a waterfall. 1937, Wright builds an exact replica of Taliesin…in Arizona and the following year, creates the FLWF (Frank Lloyd Wright foundation). And he designs plans for the Solomon Guggenheim Museum…a project that he will not complete for, Frank dies age 92 in Arizona…and, to this day, Frank Lloyd Wright is considered the best architect of our time… Frank Lloyd Wright did have flaws…as a matter of fact he had many. First of all, he was extremely ignorant of clients. He didn’t care how many bedrooms the clients wanted or even were the building was to be erected. Therefore, he was stubborn…it was always HIS way and HE was always right. These negative traits did cost him and he lost many clients from this. On the other hand he used a technique to lure his clients in regardless their ignored demands. Flattery. He always sympathized with clients and even tax collectors for, he was often in debt was on the edge of eviction and used flattery on them too in order to ignore taxes. Finally, Wright was independent. He had many apprentices but, never did he consult with them because he was Frank Lloyd Wright…HE would have it HIS way. This was a terrible mistake of his for he never learned from his mistakes and no one was there to correct him. Overall, Frank Lloyd Wright: Up Close by Jan Adkins is a compelling story about a stubborn and world renowned architect by the name of Frank Lloyd Wright and, I really enjoyed learning in depth about his keystone part in architecture. Before reading this biography I had no idea who Frank Lloyd Wright was but, this intricate novel taught me a lot about Frank’s architectural opinions and even politic opinions. This novel by Jan Adkins doesn’t only talk about Frank’s life but also surrounding influences and others’ opinions of Frank Lloyd Wright. Therefore, I recommend this novel to anyone who is interested in the artistic domain of architecture. Also anybody interested in American struggles and life in the early 1900’s and political and artistic changes in transition to the 20th century would love this biography...By: Alex Benoit
