DESCRIPTION: No photographer during renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright s lifetime was granted as much personal and professional access as his official photographer, Pedro E. Guerrero, who spent 20 years shooting Wright s work, his homes and many key moments in his life. " Picturing Wright: An Album from Frank Lloyd Wright s Photographer" provides an illuminating portrait of Wright from the day of Guerrero s serendipitous hiring in 1939 until his last assignment just before the architect s 1959 death, a particularly momentous time in Wright s career. Guerrero captured Wright at Taliesin West in Arizona, at Taliesin in Wisconsin and later at Taliesin East his personally remodeled suite at New York s Plaza Hotel. Guerrero was there as the Arizona site evolved from a makeshift camp to an internationally renowned architectural community; for the Taliesin Fellowship s treks east to Taliesin each spring; and for life among the apprentice architects who created buildings, grew their own food, picnicked on the hillsides and thrived under the master s watchful but benevolent eye. Guerrero photographed many of Wright s later projects, among them his innovative Usonian houses and provocative public buildings. Throughout, he recorded Wright in candid poses that provide a unique, behind-the-scenes glimpse of the architectural genius. " Picturing Wright" gathers 200 of these compelling images to capture Wright in a refreshing new light. The photograph
