A unique portrait of Wright from a different perspective,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reflections from the Shining Brow: My Years with Frank Lloyd Wright and Olgivanna Lazovich (Hardcover)
Author Kamal Amin was an idealistic young Egyptian just out of architecture school when he traveled to America to join Frank Lloyd Wright's circle, there to become a working member of his Taliesin Fellowship, and a disciple of Wright. Reflections From The Shining Brow: My Years With Frank Lloyd Wright And Olgivanna Lazovich combines a memoir with a biographical sketch of Wright and his Fellowship members, including many details on Wright's third wife Olgivanna Lazovich, who dominated the atmosphere of the group at the time. A unique portrait of Wright from a very different and insightful perspective.

Good Enough for an Autograph,

This review is from: Reflections From the Shining Brow: My years with Frank Lloyd Wright and Olgivanna Lazovich Wright (Paperback)
Although I only ordered Shining Brow the week before my vacation, it arrived in time to go with me. I had just been informed my hosts were neighbors to Kamal. Although the book was used, I had no qualms in requesting his autograph, increasing my collection beautifully.
