WRIGHT FRANK LLOYD: (1867-1959) American architect, designer & writer. Typed manuscript, unsigned, five pages, 4to, Taliesin, Spring Green, Wisconsin, August 1939, being a draft of Wright's article entitled To the Fifty-Eighth, with a number of ink corrections in Wright's hand, in part, (Wright's corrections marked in bold text), 'If printed reactions to my talks in London - no speaker really - which should HAVE reached me there x but now reach me at Taliesin mean anything, I have succeeded in getting myself pretty thoroughly misunderstood and well disliked, especially by those who should have been quick to understand me. I refer to the 58th variety - “the fruit of my own orchard”? For such pains as I took in the circumstances I am accused of disowning the “fruit of my own orchard” when I intended only to cut DOWN out saplings interfering with good fruit. Therefore certain intellectualists (saplings) are saying I am changed to “escapist”. A bad word, their word “escapist”? Boys, Why call names? Why not go to work? Go on…do something on THEIR your own that doesn't take refuge with the incompetent in a “universal” pattern for something that (should it abide with principle) ought to be as alive and various as human character is itself! AND have I “changed” or ONLY simply smashed myself as an idol? I intended to smash that IDOL but only to let idol worshippers a little closer than they NOW seem to want to go. Hero worship is sometimes pretty awful. That any of mine can now bear hide nor hair of me would be a surprise to me……Once and for all concerning this constantly repeated reference to my contribution to Architecture as a kind of romanticism: because any attempt on their part to establish a “contemporary vernacular” is defied by the revelations of principle eternally fresh and new in every building I build - they DRAG IN THE term “Romanticism” is dragged in to conceal their own impotence whereas it only really explains it. I love romance as I love sentiment. But just as I dislike sentimentality I would dislike their “Romance”. Corbusier or Gropius - I suggest you put a gently sloping roof on any LE CORBUSIER OR GROPIUS just to see what you have left of the so-called International Style after proper deductions have been made…..But where is that creative force today? THE man is not using the Machine! The machine is using the man and is using him so he is losing himself….becoming a “thing” beneath his push button and steering wheel….I see now as I saw then - that the only way man can use the machine - not let it use him - is to get it as a working principle into the hands of the great human forces we used to call the creative artist. Well…again, where is he?.....So, bid to England, I came with another “Declaration of Independence”. This time ONE concerned, not with taxes, but with independence of any aesthetic whatsoever where this matter of life as structure is now concerned - social, political, or artistic. I said that the only way man can use his machine and keep alive what is best in him is to go by means of it to the larger freedom the machine makes possible - go toward decentralization instead of continuing the centralization the machine exploits and, so far as any great human benefit goes, will soon explode. Simple enough? Do I continue to fog the issue? If so the Machine itself will prove me right. Meantime I can wait and work'. A few minor staple holes to the upper edge of each page, not affecting the text, and with some very light, minor age wear, VG Wright's article was published in the Journal of the Royal Institute of Architects in October 1939 and served as a rebuttal to criticisms levelled at him after a lecture he delivered in in London in May 1939 attacking the 'international style' of architecture.
