Tales of Taliesin: A Memoir of Fellowship

Cornelia Brierly was one of the first apprentices to attend Frank Lloyd Wright's school of architecture. Before long, she was a working colleague of the master architect; during the last thirty years of his career, she made important design contributions to many of his building projects. Brierly has spent most of her life at Wright's Taliesin (Wisconsin) & Taliesin West (Arizona). This lavishly illustrated memoir tells the story of nearly seventy years spent with the Taliesin Fellowship. It is an important work, not only because of the author's closeness to the twentieth century's foremost architect but because she has observed at first hand the unfolding of organic architecture--Wright's design precepts made manifest. In an affectionate, honest, & perceptive book, she celebrates the fellowship as a way of life & brings to life a vibrant community that is still going strong, forty years after Wright's death.Cornelia Brierly is the author of 'Tales of Taliesin: A Memoir of Fellowship', published 2000 under ISBN 9780764913358 and ISBN 0764913352.
