At the mature age of sixty-three, Frank Lloyd Wright entered the 1930s in a state of involuntary retirement; while his private life had stabilized, he was virtually devoid of work, partially as a consequence of the 1929 stock-market crash.
To add insult to injury, 1929 had also seen the publication of Henry-Russell Hitchcock’s Modern Architecture: Romanticism and Reintegration, in which Hitchcock relegated Wright to the category of the New Tradition, along with such seemingly retarditaire architects as Ragnar Ostberg, the designer of the Stockholm Town Hall.
Clearly this did not sit well with Wright, and the unpublished “Poor Little American Architecture” is the start of a rebarbitive relationship with Hitchcock that will assume an ad hominen character in 1932, before being repaired through the magnanimity of Hitchcock’s critical acumen; namely, his 1943 In the Nature of Materials dedicated to Wright’s work.
