Frank Lloyd Wright
Though Wright (1867-1959) designed many public buildings, he was best
known for residential designs, “organic architecture” that followed the nat-
ural contours of the land, and tradition-breaking open interior spaces that
have had lasting worldwide influence. The Guggenheim, one of his last pro-
jects, was a com-plete departure. So intent was Wright on his spiral design
that when told some walls were too short for large works, he reportedly re-
sponded, “cut the paintings in half.”
