hmm, well sex is/was a huge motivation to both ... so maybe, in this
regard, they are more alike than their artistic output would lead you
to believe ...

well, frank lloyd wright's early career was not nearly so ground
breaking as the latter part of it.

he was a fairly serious architect- took himself and his work quite
seriously. however, there are many architects who take their work [and
themselves] very seriously and do not leave the legacy that frank
lloyd wright did. so maybe being serious is not the most important
thing about being an artist ...

aren't you taking the hard line here- insisting that being 'serious'
is important for an artist?
