"Over the course of Pedro E. Guerrero's remarkable sixty-year career, he has photographed the houses of some of the most illustrious American architects and artists of the twentieth century. Emerging from a modest Mexican American background in Arizona, Guerrero chanced upon his first professional job in 1939, photographing Taliesin West, the Arizona home of Frank Lloyd Wright. For the next twenty years, Guerrero became the chief visual interpreter of Wright's homes, producing unparalleled photographic records of such works as Taliesin West and Taliesin, Wisconsin. As his career blossomed, he forged unwavering partnerships and friendships with Alexander Calder - capturing the beautiful chaos and mayhem of his American and French homes and studios - and, later, with the audacious Louise Nevelson - documenting the mosaic of her magnificently severe sculptures and spaces. The celebrated cast of characters in his life also includes Marcel Breuer, Philip Johnson, Edward Durell Stone, Irving Penn, Andy Warhol, Richard Avedon, Alexey Brodovitch, Carmel Snow, and Julia Child." "Pedro E. Guerrero is a memoir, illustrated with over 190 of the author's photographs. Gathering a lifetime of images and memories, Guerrero steps out from behind the camera and, for the first time, tells his own stories so inextricably woven with the lives of the extraordinary people he has known. This book chronicles his fruitful associations with the creative giants of the twentieth century, capturing and preserving a remarkably progressive period in American architecture and art and lending a candid and personal vision of almost one hundred years of American cultural history."--BOOK JACKET.
