Frank Lloyd Wright 1957 Interview

Taliesin, June 18, 1957.

This is a condensed version of an interview that can be found here for free: www.myfamilymemoirs.com
The video was split into several segments and rearranged to shorten what was originally 14 minutes.

"No man is free who is afraid. And he is afraid until he has developed the certainty that comes from a creative life and a creative role in life by way of art, religion, and science."

"Mediocrity is always dishonest. You may not think that is a true statement, but let's go it the other way around and say dishonesty is always mediocre."-FLW

"Why have we denied and gone against every fundamental principle that we found our forefathers—or would have found if we studied it—declared as freedom? I can't understand it, unless it is that all our standards are so mixed, like our blood, that we have lost sight of anything straightforward, clean, true, and original."-FLW

The most famous architect of all times.. know for his "form follows function" dictum. He is a true nature lover.. he designs buildings that are always in harmony with nature.

@WiseMonkey888 which gives him more credibility in my view

[julianAlbanera]

I wish my architectural design lab teachers could have 1/10 of his wisdom.

@ovistrucido His birthdate is a matter of some confusion. It is either 1867 or 1869. Most go with the former.

@Seattlecarnut myfamilymemoirs says he was 90 at the time of the interview
