He may well have been America's greatest architect. He was probably the most influential architect of any age. Years ahead of his time, he created a new kind of architectural expression that has never been equaled. Scorning imitation throughout his long life, he stubbornly and skillfully fought for an American architecture that would be creative, daring, and natural. In the clean, bold lines of his buildings, in the harmony of his structure and site, the public came to recognize the creativeness of this rebel genius. He was arrogant and proud. He was outspoken and defiant. He was restless and talented. He was an individual. His name was Frank Lloyd Wright.
