This was not really an "interview" rather more of an inquisition. Mr. Wright, ever unflappable, handled it well and did his best to enlighten Mr. Wallace. Not sure he succeeded, though. "The mob is humanity going the wrong way." Simple, yet brilliant. Nature is God's true temple; St. Patrick's Cathedral is a testament to money and power. Very different levels of reverence, Mr. Wallace.

This is gold. Thank God it exists. In his 90's he was at the peak of his creativity, knowledge of science combined with deep political and philosophical insights. The clarity of thought, wisdom and his ability in seeing into the inner character and underlying truth of the total picture is profound to say the least. He was, in my book, one of the greatest architect and one of the greatest philosopher ever lived. Just imagine, if he could live another 90 years more, just what he could achieve. He already had a "whole country" and a "mile-high skyscraper " in mind. Damn, the bitter curse of aging. Our huge loss.

Mike Wallace then and later was a very cocky but very thorough interviewer. Frank Lloyd Wright was an amazing person. When we peel back the layers of this 91 year old man we see things that from a social perspective were not so positive. He was born in 1867 - just two years after the American Civil War and he lived until 1959 - the dawn of the jet age. He was very aware of the present. Very much a man of the moment. But we ignore certain things bout him and so Mr. Wallace seems like a vulture on the attack and Mr. Wright appears magnanimous in the hands of this pretender. Wright is a complex individual. If we judge him just on his work then we must include many that are excluded - some few know anything about. We must recognize thousands of people who were part of his school of thought. These were not mere assistants - by this point in time they were integral to his success. You can see that in the work of William Wesley Peters and others. Peters though is a good example of what I refer to. Without Peters, Wright would have been broke. And he would have lost Taliesin - at least three times Wes bailed him out. And Wes sacrificed his life for Wright - quite literally. Gene Masselink is another man that was sacrificed - at the hands of Olgivanna. Gene died of heart failure because Mrs. Wright was so brutal. And by this time she was brutal to and with her husband at times. He ignored it because he was old and because he loved her. And she did love him - but she was a manipulative, conniving individual who was very powerful, strong and resourceful. Mike Wallace knew his subject. Wright had made statements while in NY about the pending work with the Guggenheim and he decried Lever House by Skidmore even though Mies could do no wrong in his eyes. Wallace knew a lot of people. And he had seen Wright at work. Wright was politically naïve. He really had no idea what liberal or conservative really meant. When the socialists of the Eastern Bloc approached him he accepted their invitation despite the fact he probably shouldn't have. Wright was an intellectual thief - most geniuses are. And yes it's theft. He made the work of others seem like his own - and he did this often - particularly to the apprentices - and some resented him for it. Many of the most ingenious things in his houses - not all - but many were instituted by craftsman and or the apprentices from the fellowship at the site - particularly in the case of the Robie House and in the case of many of the Usonians. Wright could be very, very inflexible. Fallingwater is a good example. The cantilever was madness - and no critics - it didn't work - it failed. If Edgar Kaufman, Sr. hadn't connived behind Wright's back the house would have failed utterly. But Kaufman convinced Wright that structural engineers were absolutely required - and Wright finally saw that "his idea" of hiring a structural engineer might have some merit. Some people couldn't stand Wright for various reasons - Phillip Johnson was one of them. Keep in mind that the Usonian was first introduced in 1937 and because of some rather shrewd manipulation on the part of he and his wife - by 1953 or so his career took off. Believe me when I say it had not been that successful prior. If we look at the quantity of work he booked between 1950 and 1959 it was far, far more than he had seen prior to that. Wright would deposit a check before he'd done one scrap of work on a house. And that would be fine if he could provide the support needed to build it - but quite often - he couldn't. So he played a game of musical commissions and this sometimes caught up with him. Various disparaging names dogged him in Spring Green and in Chicago. And yes Wright was starving to death - or nearly so - between 1919 and 1934. He nearly lost everything - many, many times. And any other man would have gone to prison for some of the stunts he pulled but for his rather silver tongue. I love and admire the man and his work - but I'm a realist. Many of his devotees aren't. Many despise me when I criticize him. But my thinking is based on biographies that are well substantiated. His "daddy" issues for instance - he insisted his father abandoned him - when in reality his mother was a tyrant and drove her husband away.

We admire him for what he has done for architecture, no matter how he has done it. All of the greatest revolutionary people, as humans have the most flaws than all of us. Many have gotten to their success in not the best way however, they made a difference. You are judging the man, we are judging the man based on his work. His work is magnificent and a piece of art a person can live in and all future architects strive to be as revolutionary and as passionate about their work as Mr.Wright was. As for stealing, they always say that about the greatest of architects, not just him. Everyone has stolen from someone in their past or present. Ideas don't come from thin air, they are developed, updated and made better. That is what he is great for. taking something and making it better, putting it in the forefront. So please, next time don't write a long history about who his admirers are and what they don't understand about his flawed character, because we are awesome and we know about his flawed character, we don't hear his words, we let his works speak for him. Thank you! p.s Wallace may be a great interviewer but his bias here is evident and very dislikable, he has no followthrough on his questions and has no capability to debate anything Lloyd answers, there is where he fails for me. Anyone can ask simple made beforehand questions, a few can followup based on the nuanced answers that he is given.

@@addo-ajjalani9046 Geniuses are given a pass. The other day I noted a revisionist who said Edison was a thief. That he stole most of his greatest successes. Perhaps the only place where one can 'feel' his presence is really at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. It's important to note that Edison was a full partner in preserving his heritage there. The laboratory from Menlo Park is technically in NJ. The dirt was carted from Menlo Park to rural, farmland in Dearborn, a hole was dug, the dirt reused elsewhere. And his boyhood home was moved there lock, stock and barrel. The rooming house where the first home lighting with bulbs were implemented. Dynamos, incredible engines and a gorgeous recorder are still there. One of several. He KNEW he was a thief. He didn't deny it. He made claims that were bald-faced lies. His great accomplishments weren't the light bulb which Lumiere had fashioned so many years before. The phonograph wasn't new. It was his other inventions. He stole a great deal from Westinghouse and from Tesla. Those two - Edison and Westinghouse broke Tesla I think. Wright wasn't that revolutionary. The flat, long house he stole from the Dampferstyl in Germany as well as the low slung houses that were his first great period. Wright built Fallingwater, perhaps his greatest accomplishment, called himself America's greatest architect but in reality Fallingwater as some have pointed out was an engineering disaster. People told Mr. Wright that the home couldn't be suspended over the river and around the tree in the manner in which he did so. This isn't some startling modern revelation. Structural engineers made fun of him before he started. And then at least one firm booked a good deal of revenue from a secretive Edgar Kaufman, Sr. Himself no paragon of virtue. A serial philanderer. A homophobe. A man who emerged on his own at the expense of his family. Wright knew kindred when he met them. But he also used people and used the badly. In some cases he ruined them. He could have brought George Elmslie. Elmslie left but only after Wright had purposely outshined him.

@@KevinHandydfw yes they are given a pass, and rightly so! Tesla as well gets a pass and is made to seem better than Edison, even though he was a madman and even though half of his accomplishments were exaggerated and are to this day. While Edison is hated by all now because of looking at the world through this type of lense. Also if it wasn't for Edisons company Tesla might not even be known today. Also, Einstein personally was awful, married his cousin yet spoke about how he through science wanted to get closer to god. I mean lets go even bigger, we have democracy which is accredited to Napoleon yet he got there through wars which we know how they started and ended. My point is which it seems a bit like you are not willing to accept, is that all great men and women of history are both good and bad and have a lot of faults. If you are angry because of the fact that he proclaimed himself the greatest architect then I think you are hung up on something really insignificant. Who among the greatest has not said that once in their lifetime?.However, you pointing out a few negatives does not remove all the incredible things they have accomplished. Half of the modern architecture is stolen, the Oslo museum is taken from an Opera house in North Macedonia.. but no one knows that now do they. However, they elevated the design, the engineering, and architecture approach and that is why the museum in Oslo is more recognized and far more superior. That is how things work. Again he was revolutionary, he took a style and elevated it, the engineers laughed at him? The houses are still standing, problematical, however, there is not a person alive that doesn't know it or an architect alive that hasn't studied it and become a better architect through it. All this work is stolen..? www.independent.co.uk/travel/americas/frank-lloyd-wright-architect-best-buildings-anniversary-guggenheim-a9101396.html In addition let me say this, clearly, you like letting people know of your knowledge of things, why not try and elevate the good they have done instead of pointing out all their wrongs. Speak about Teslas accomplishments, not Edisons faults or.. mention an even greater Architect you admire and speak of his accomplishments as opposed to some of Wrights. No matter how much you try these people will remain in history because they did something right. I believe that is what we should focus on and learn from. At the end of the day, they are just people. (and before you say that by pointing out the awful we stop admiring people that should not be admired, I agree, to a certain extent. But when the positives outweigh the bad, unless you were personally there, we can never know for sure what really happened.) History is written by the winners but also contradicted, hated and twisted by the losers.

Jabs is a good word for it. It was really reactionary, and didn't give Wright much chance to expand on his views before he moved on to the next question challenging his "unconventional" beliefs. I listened to an interview with Andy Warhol early in his career that reminded me of that, where the interviewer kept on advocating for this "everyman" approach and coming from the perspective that he was a crank and then his whole game-plan fell apart when it turned out that Warhol could provide cogent, coherent justifications on why he was bucking the status quo. I guess it's a product of the really conservative 1950s - certainly nowadays we're willing to jump on anyone who has a whiff - deserved or not - of being a "maverick" charging in with what looks like a new idea.

I found Wallace to be constantly attempting to capture Wright in conflicts of opinion, as if Wright's opinions should never have opportunity to change or develop over time. The first interview was in my view, somewhat of a forced nature having less to do about architecture and more to do about irrelavent topics, in a somewhat rushed manner. I think FLW should be commended for his restrainment of temper. I would've possibly criticized Wallace for his irrelavence of questions. Wallace never revealed how he got that advanced copy of FLW's autobiography before he did.

I was very happy to hear how sincerely anti-war Frank Lloyd Wright was - that’s not a perspective one hears very often

Sure was on board with killing if it was "merciful". Progressives worship the creation (not the creator) and it always ends with the love of death. Anti-war simply means "Submit to the overlords that wish to enslave you". A worthless human...and all of his windows and ceilings leaked. Seriously.

I have to stop watching this video. Mike Wallace, a media pimp, interviewing a genius.

I like that FLW resisted the sterility and greed of modernist architecture but I find his reaction to St Patrick's cathedral a little disappointing. I know he wanted an American architecture and considered an imported style inferior, but St Patrick's reflects what the Catholic Church is- steeped in history, and I find his ideology of individualism and his personal goals, get in the way of him being able to acknowledge the common man's reaction to an awesome building. FLW was like the Romantic poets, repelled by the soulless city, he carved out an individual path, in the isolation of nature.
