RUDOLF MICHAEL SCHINDLER
(1887-1953) After obtaining the commission for the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, a major project that involved being in Japan for several years, Frank Lloyd Wright hired Schindler to run his American operations out of Wright's Oak Park studio. In 1919, Schindler met and married Pauline Gibling (1893-1977) and in 1920 Wright sent Schindler to Los Angeles to work on the Aline Barnsdall House. Beyond his job for FLW, Schindler was engaged to design several private commissions while in Los Angeles starting in 1922. During this time, Schindler and Wright argued frequently. The two split in the late 1920's and reconciled only shortly before Schindler's death in 1953. Philip Johnson rejected Schindler's inclusion in the 1932 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art because he felt it was outside the International Style. Schindler responded by rejecting the categorizing his designs into any style. The Schindlers divorced in the 1930's, however Pauline stayed in the Kings Road house until her death in 1977.
