Frank Lloyd Wright

The widely admired biographer of Bernard Berenson (â€œA triumphâ€â€”Washington Post; â€œA perfect riotâ€â€”Michael Holroyd; â€œAstonishingâ€â€”London Sunday Times) and of Kenneth Clark (â€œSplendid, enthrallingâ€â€”The Wall Street Journal) gives us now a complete and complex portrait of an American titan, Frank Lloyd Wright.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Meryle Secrest shows us Frank Lloyd Wright in full scaleâ€”the brilliant, outrageous, fascinating man; the giant who changed modern architecture; the standard-bearer for the new, quintessentially American vision, the artist who never, during a seventy-year career, abandoned his principles of design; the radical, the Bohemianâ€”the visionary who was one of the central figures of the twentieth-century American culture, society and politics.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Meryle Secrest is the first biographer to have full access to the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives. Her life of the architect, more than five yearsâ€™ work and illustrated with 121 photographs, is a stunning feat of biographical narrative, sustained analysis and compassionate insight. With her extraordinary grasp of the man and his art, she gives us Frank Lloyd Wright close upâ€”a creature of boundless energy and indomitable appetite for experience, a man whose limitless belief in his own rightness carried him through bankruptcy, arrest, fire, divorce, and years of social ostracism. A riveting portrait of a genius.
