Many Masks: A Life Of Frank Lloyd Wright
Autor Brendan Gillen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 aug 1998
"Genius,
egotist,
mythomaniac,
sexual
rebel,
master
of
media
manipulation,
the
legendary
Wright
comes
alive
in
all
his
cantankerous
complexity.
.
.
.
A
delight
from
cover
to
cover."--Kirkus
Frank
Lloyd
Wright
(1867-1959)
is
often
described
as
the
greatest
of
American
architects.
His
works-among
them
Taliesin
North,
Taliesin
West,
Fallingwater,
the
Johnson
Wax
buildings,
the
Guggenheim
Museum--earned
him
a
good
measure
of
his
fame,
but
his
flamboyant
personal
life
earned
him
the
rest.
Here
Brendan
Gill,
a
personal
friend
of
Wright
and
his
family,
gives
us
not
only
the
fullest,
fairest,
and
most
entertaining
account
of
Wright
to
date,
but
also
strips
away
the
many
masks
the
architect
tirelessly
constructed
to
fascinate
his
admirers
and
mislead
his
detractors.
Enriched
by
hitherto
unpublished
letters
and
300
photographs
and
drawings,
this
definitive
biography
makes
Wright,
in
all
his
creativity,
crankiness,
and
zest,
fairly
leap
from
its
pages.
"A
synergistic
event
of
first
importance
in
terms
of
delight
and
humor
and
wonder:
a
graceful
and
shrewd
writer,
intoxicated
all
his
life
by
the
most
intrusive
and
permanent
of
the
arts,
has
unfrozen
with
words
the
music
of
the
architecture,
both
sweet
and
sour,
of
the
American
genius
Frank
Lloyd
Wright."--Kurt
Vonnegut
