  • Essay / Frank - 1022

    Frank Lloyd Wright was a very popular American artist, but not a typical artist. He was very famous not only for his artwork and sculptures but also for his architecture. He designed over 1,000 works of art during his life and created 536 of them. He built houses, beautiful houses, each with its own story. He had amazing ideas, ones that incorporated the perception of your eyes, the dramatic change from dark to light, from big to small, and all those ideas that transformed into something bigger and better. Frank Lincoln Wright was born June 8, 1867 in Richland. Center, Wisconsin to his parents (at the time) William Carey Wright and Anna Lloyd Jones. He grew up in an America still influenced by Jefferson's idea of ​​an agrarian society, although he always had a deep love for nature. This feeling he had for the earth and his belief in the need for a direct relationship with nature were essential to his concept of "organic architecture". When Frank's mother, Anna, was expecting him, she went to a centennial exhibition in Philadelphia and came across a display of educational wooden blocks created by Friedrich Wilhelm August Frobel. These blocks were called "Froebel Gifts" and formed the basis of his innovative kindergarten program, where the child spent a lot of time playing, experimenting with ideas, nurturing the idea of ​​architecture, in which Frank's mother had dreamed of his son. being before she even knew she was going to have a child. When Frank was 14, his parents separated and Frank claimed he never saw his father again after that. After this happened, Frank decided to change his middle name to Lloyd in honor of his mother's family, being the only male left in the family. Frank went to Madison...... middle of paper ...... ration. So when they say the house is “all Frank,” they mean it literally. Every room in the house was thought out, chosen, designed and created by Frank. Overall, Frank was a very intelligent intellectual artist and he was very thorough with his pieces and buildings. There are websites all over the internet about him, his work, what he did and people who are inspired and are architects because of him. I found an architect named Michael Rust, whose designs are very inspired by Frank's work. He uses a lot of wood and angular/modern shapes and pieces in his buildings. Frank has inspired many people around the world. It took me until now to know who he was, because I heard his name, but never knew him. Turns out he built the clubhouse for the King Kamehameha gold course on Maui. So he's really all around us, and it's pretty scary.
