"Frank Lloyd Wright and the Mother Art," a one-hour OPTIONS Association (!NBA) and Illinois documentary, explores the life-long pursuit of matching America's unique landscape with buildings that News Network (INN). become one with nature. The program will be broadcast on WGLT on Saturday, Aug. 30 at 6:00 pm. When Wright was born in Wisconsin in 1867, America was a country of prairies, small towns and a few large cities. The population was 50 million and the architecture of the day was primarily European in design. As America grew and became mechanized, industrialized and more urban, Wright's designs evolved into a new architecture, wholly American in scope and texture. "I think the way space flows in his buildings, horizontally and visually, all the way to the horizon, that is a very American notion of what space is like," says Peter Blake, architect and Wright biographer. "Wright had an enormous intuitive talent, how to use ordinary things-light, water and very ordinary materials-in a way that really made a kind of poetry which not many people are capable of produc­ ing." Wright was perceived by his peers at the turn of the century as a radical and very few prestigious commissions came his way. When the Depression came and construction slowed down, Wright used his free time to start a school of architecture at his home in Wisconsin-the Taliesin Fellowship. Wright's creations are monuments to his genius and strongly influence modem architecture. Some of his best known works are the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Johnson Wax building in Wisconsin and dozens of single-family houses, one of which is in Peoria. Mrs. Marjorie F. Leighey, who lives in Wright's Pope Leighey House, describes for OPTIONS, as she does for the many guests who visit her home each day, how it feels to live in a Frank Lloyd Wright house: "There is harmony here that isn't necessarily found in any other house, not just in the sizes and shapes of each part to the next, but the way they are all tied together. Subtly, he achieves things that make for your comfort even when you're not conscious of them." The Frank Lloyd Wright home located in Peoria. 1 friday 3 sunday 4 monday 5 tuesday 6:00 Morning Concert 6:00 Morning Edition: McLean County A look at Stravinsky's first six ballets. 6:00 Morning Edition: McLean County 7:00 Morning Edition: NPR STRAVINSKY: The Firebird (1910) A 7:00 Morning Edition: NPR 6:00 Morning Edition: McLean County 9:00 Morningside-Jazz Dance Tale in Two Tableaux 9:00 Morningside-Jazz 7:00 Morning Edition: NPR 12:00 Midday Magazine 8:00 News 11:45 Midday Magazine 9:00 Morningside-Jazz 12:30 Past Is Prologue 8:05 The Art of Song 12:00 Nat'!.
