Architecture’s Odd Couple
Frank Lloyd Wright and Phillip Johnson came to the limelight as architecture’s ‘odd couple’ considering the differences in their approaches and the fact that they also represented separate generations of art and architecture. Primarily, it was their artistic rivalry, sometimes mixed with personal differences that inspired the sense of critique and admiration that culminated into the emergence of postmodernism. One aspect of their work that separated them was that while Wright was an idealist, Johnson was rather an opportunist that mimicked a showman in his approach.
Prior to the MOMA exhibition, most architecture was typical involving the post and lintel styles and praire houses.
