Frank Lloyd Wright--Or Was He Wrong

Frank Lloyd Wright once testified in court that he was the world's greatest living architect. "I had no choice," he later explained, "I was under oath." Wright was almost always controversial, as much for his single-mindedness and his point-blank way of speaking as for his architectural achievements. Join Dr. Roy Behrens, Professor of Art and Distinguished Scholar at the University of Northern Iowa, for a discussion of the traditions that Wright inherited from the Victorian era, and in turn the amazing influence he had on younger architects in the twentieth century. Professor Behrens has been featured in interviews on NOVA, National Public Radio, Australian Public Radio, BBC, Iowa Public Radio and Iowa Public Television, as well as in documentary films. This will be a thought-provoking presentation, richly illustrated by scores of historical images of Wright's life and the iconic objects he made.
