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.
