Taliesin--the country estate built by Frank Lloyd Wright between 1911 & 1959--has been a self-sufficient farm complex, a boarding school, a world-class architectural studio, & a fellowship for the study of architecture. What was it like to be a part of this vibrant community, to work in close association with the preeminent American architect? Author Frances Nemtin, currently the long-time manager & designer of the Taliesin flower gardens, joined the fellowship in 1946 after she met Wright while arranging a show of his work. Rich in anecdote & precise in description, her charmingly discursive tour of the fellowship includes rarely seen photographs & paintings from the fellowship archives evoking the beauty of Taliesin in all seasons, & the excitement of living in proximity to genius.Nemtin, Frances is the author of 'Frank Lloyd Wright and Taliesin' with ISBN 9780764912610 and ISBN 0764912615.
