'Elegance shares a border with crankiness, independence with selfishness' – 'The Art and Life of Georgia O'Keeffe'.
Best known for her sensual close-ups of flowers, desert landscapes, and bleached white cow skulls, as well as Santa Fe chic, Georgia O'Keefe is also remembered for her celebrated relationship with photographer Alfred Stieglitz. Although he marketed her art and broadened her audience, this biography reveals how he in fact hindered her abstract painting. This book goes beyond the marketing by Stieglitz and separates the sales pitch from the true intent of a remarkable artist.
Contains colour reproductions of O'Keeffe's work.
