Georgia O'Keeffe: A Life
āĻāĻ āĻ āĻĄāĻŋāĻāĻŦā§āĻā§āĻ° āĻŦāĻŋāĻˇā§ā§
One of the greatest and most admired artists of the twentieth century, Georgia OâKeeffe led a life rich in intense relationshipsâwith family, friends, and especially with fellow artist Alfred Stieglitz.
Her extraordinary accomplishments, such as the often eroticized flowers, bones, stones, skulls, and pelvises that she painted with such command, are all the more remarkable when seen in the context of the struggle she waged between the rigorous demands of love and work.
When Roxana Robinsonâs definitive biography of OâKeeffe was first published in 1989, it received rave reviews and was named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. This new edition features a new foreword by the author, setting OâKeefe in an artistic context over the last thirty years since the book was first published, as well as previously unpublished letters of the young OâKeeffe to her lover, Arthur MacMahon. This book also relates the story of Robinsonâs own encounter with the artist.
As interest in OâKeeffe continues to grow among museum-goers and scholars alike, this book remains indispensable for understanding her life and art.
