G.I. Gurdjieff, a "holistic philosopher who was at one time Olgivanna [Wright]`s teacher and who had contact with Mr Wright himself both in Taliesin and New York.". The Gurdjieff link is from "the Gurdjieff Studies Group (London, U.K.), a small non-cultic group of men and women actively addressing the teaching of the holistic philosopher G.I. Gurdjieff, who enjoyed a contact with Frank Lloyd Wright. Studies are led by Gurdjieff's biographer James Moore, who has sustained a lifetime's interest in Mr. Wright." [James Moore]
