Wright and Olgivanna began the Taliesin Fellowship, taking on apprentices. Fallingwater brought him new acclaim for its modern principles and materials integrated with the landscape. Usonian houses were high-quality, affordable housing for mass production. In 1937, the Fellowship began annual pilgrimage to Arizaona's Taliesin West. His provocative postwar gas stations, synagogues, and a spiral-ramped Guggenheim Museum, closed out his career.

Review by Mark P. on 11/10/20 review stating Frank Lloyd Wright
This is a superb documentary of a man who was, in nearly every way someone can be, involved in the writing of his own public narrative. Ken Burns and Lynn Novick dig very deep to see whats behind that narrative. It has aged well in the two decades and two years since its creation and is a very fine point of entry into the career of Americas Greatest Architect.
