Frank Lloyd Wright

[Carl Remick]

Re Lou's:  "As it
turns out, part of the inspiration was the arts and crafts movement
launched by William Morris, the English Marxist, artist and utopian
thinker. (Morris's utopianism was of the best kind. It simply was
presented
as a dream about the future.) "

Very interesting post.  I have great respect for Morris and what he
advocated.  Apart from the raw anguish caused by exploitation, the sheer
everyday ugliness capitalism produces in wringing the creativity out of
labor and turning workers and products into commodities is depressing.
Pretty depressing, too, that Morris's high ideals weren't carried
forward by a better standard-bearer than Wright.
