Svetlana was married, for some time, to one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s chief proteges, and the Taliesin East lacale was some two miles south of a little town of Spring Green. Her politics, insofar as she expressed any, were with the “progressive” form of humanistic secularism.
Much like Frank Lloyd Wright’s own.
Which fits right in with a number of folk who live in Wisconsin (I know, I was born and brought up there, left for good in 1991, and never looked back).
Much like Frank Lloyd Wright’s own.
I'm not realy sure about any of that. Svetlana was secretly baptized back in Russia when it was frowned upon by the authorities. More here.
And Frank Lloyd Wright was such a complicated figure that it's hard to pigeon-hole him. He had a utopian side and some "dalliances" with radicals, and fit in well in LaFollette's Progressive Wisconsin, but he had real troubles with the IRS and the FHA (as well as some with the FBI).
Politics wasn't the main thing on his mind, though. He was more mystical than political. It's pretty obvious that he wasn't "one of us." He wasn't much like anybody else.
