	Fountainhead Interview of Leonard Peikoff by Robert Mayhew
		The emphasis of The Fountainhead is that idealism is possible and practical on earth.
		The assumption of The Fountainhead is: we're living in a free (and for now politically safe) society, and these are the choices men make in it.
		With The Fountainhead, however, a man is the hero, and the woman is essentially someone in love with him.

	The Literary Achievement of The Fountainhead
		The Fountainhead provided and continues to provide a powerful inspiration to the individualist movement in America, and throughout the world.
		More than any other single work, The Fountainhead revived popular enthusiasm for a way of thinking, and a way of life, that in 1943 was regarded by virtually every sector of intellectual opinion as outmoded, discredited, and even dangerous.
		In The Fountainhead, Rand knows that the intensity of a long-protracted conflict needs a strong antagonistic force, a force whose influence can be felt on many levels.

		This derivation from usual Hollywood fare of the 40's required a much higher level of suspension of disbelief, one that the audience of the day were unwilling to respond with.
		The Fountainhead and its complete character focus deviates drastically from the standard cinema of the day with its more obvious definability and structure.
		Rand's book "The Fountainhead" (actually all her novels) expresses an extremely machismo archetype structure where male physical conquest of females are a prelude to desire and true love.

	Essay on The Fountainhead
		With The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand presents an opposing viewpoint—that human reason is the foundation for achievement and happiness.
		Society in The Fountainhead is remarkably averse to truth and reason.
		As glass and steel are to skyscrapers, thus is reason to man. As Dominique rises to meet Roark at the end of The Fountainhead, Roark does not appear dwarfed and weak—the girders of the Wynand Building are made of the same material as Roark’s mind and spirit.

		The Fountainhead is a monument of American culture; monumental in size, monumental in scope, monumental in effect, monumental in the statement that it makes about America, but monumental also in the complexity and integration of its statement.

		Ayn Rand's problem is that she had a good narrative and an intriguing value system, but instead of writing a novel and a philosophy essay, she fused the two, which simply jars.
		Despite all the faults that The Fountainhead is riddled with, it is still oddly compelling; probably because she did have a good narrative and an intriguing value system.
		There are three telling omissions in "The Fountainhead": the first is that, although this is an epic tale, covering several decades in the lives of many characters, there are no babies born, no children reared.

	The Literary Achievement of The Fountainhead
		Rand's courageous challenge to accepted ideas was rendered still more courageous by her willingness to state her individualist premises in the clearest terms and to defend the most radical implications that could be drawn from them.
		She knows that both pretentiousness and self-abasement are characteristically involved in Americans' attempts to announce that they are individuals, and she identifies precisely the kind of scene that will dramatize this strange condition and suggest the phoniness of so much of what passes in America for individualism.
		She saw, with clairvoyant intensity, that the shaping ideal of America is individualism, and she was determined to distinguish that ideal from the paltry misconceptions with which mid-twentieth-century America blinded itself to its own form.

		On the surface, it is a story of one man, Howard Roark, and his struggles as an architect in the face of a successful rival, Peter Keating, and a newspaper columnist, Ellsworth Toohey.
		I didn't expect _The Fountainhead_ to be as wonderful.
		I had to write a paper on The Fountainhead for a scholarship and was not looking forward to the 694 pages that lay ahead of me. But about 15 pages into it, I realized that I really would enjoy it.

		I found The Fountainhead to be an orginal albeit overwhelming novel.
		However, The Fountainhead is the story of an egoist/individualist and his consistent optimisism in an irrational society.
		The novel is dedicated to 'The noble profession of architecture,' the perfect profession to use as an example in the story.

	Niv-Mizzet, the Fountainhead
		Given this coincidence, and the fact that “Fountainhead” starts with the letter F (making a nifty stand-in for “Firemind”), I am even happier with this yet-to-be-explored title.
		But this is not what I was getting at with “Fountainhead.” Perhaps a brief description of the Izzet guildmaster would be helpful.
		And that brings us back to “Fountainhead.” The egomaniacal, capricious, vain, and worthy-of-it all dragon has made sure that his guild and all its trappings all spring forth from him, the very lodestar of omniscient perfection.

		The author was given the rare opportunity of adapting her own incredibly dense novel for the big screen.
		No amount of revisionist posturing can change the fact that The Fountainhead was a flop when it was released and has since become an over-the-top favorite among connoisseurs of cult cinema.
		One of the great joys of The Fountainhead is that no matter how turgid or preachy the screenplay gets, Cooper and Neal have a tendency to underplay even their most passionate scenes.

	The Fountainhead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Economist Mark Skousen criticized The Fountainhead on ideological grounds, arguing that Rand's protagonist contradicts a basic premise of laissez-faire capitalism (and therefore of Objectivism) — consumer sovereignty: "Howard Roark's conviction ["An architect needs clients, but he does not subordinate his work to their wishes."] is irrational...
		For Roark, A is not A. He wants A to be B — his B, not his customer's A. Thus, Ayn Rand's ideal man misconceives the very nature and logic of capitalism — to fulfill the needs of customers and thereby advance the general welfare."

		And though many authors from that era still are fresh and contemporary, the Fountainhead has definitely aged ungracefully.
		When an Ayn Rand offers you "The Fountainhead", she is laying before you, for a price of a few dollars, years of her life and enormous mental effort.
		No one in their right mind should believe that the fate of America rests in the palm of a liberal New York art critic named Ellsworth Toohey who nurtures a conspiracy so broad-reaching that intelligent people will eventually be reduced to a pack of drooling, slack-jawed socialists.

		The Fountainhead, the wellspring, the source all point to the spark that ignites artistic creation or the essence that is one's soul.
		In this novel Roark's motivating impulse is what sets everything in motion; the rest of the characters respond to, bounce off of, are repulsed by, or devote their energies to extinguish his essence.
		Out of all the characters but Toohey, Roark is the only one with a clear path, and far from being one-dimensional we see him fill out with every situation, with every dialog, with every act of kindness, anger, stubbornness, creativity, and of love.

		It also contains unpolished, but charming short stories which she wrote in the late 1920s and early 1930s while she was still learning English, and mature works such as the stage plays Think Twice and Ideal and scenes cut from the published edition of The Fountainhead.
		This play is a murder trial abounding in plot twists and original devices.

		"When 'The Fountainhead' was published, almost every critic that reviewed it missed a point--that the welfare of society must always be subordinate to individual's self-interest.
		A favorite of sophisticated high schoolers everywhere, Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" is actually a pretty fun parody of a novel if you can just separate the wheat from the chaff.
		This review is for old people like me who are no longer as idealistic as yourself, but who might get something out of reading The Fountainhead if they're not scared away by the thought that only high school or college students read it.

		Max Steiner's rhapsodic 1949 musical score for "The Fountainhead." Based on Ayn Rand's novel, the film starred Gary Cooper and Patricia Neal and was directed by King Vidor.
		The hero of Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" is Howard Roark (Gary Cooper), a fiercely independent architect obviously patterned after Frank Lloyd Wright.
		"The Fountainhead's" saving graces are the solid direction by King Vidor, the rhapsodic musical score by Max Steiner, and the symbolism inherent in Cooper's manipulation of his power drill when he first lays eyes on Patricia Neal!
