What to expect
One of the greatest and most admired artists of the twentieth century, Georgia O’Keeffe led a life rich in intense relationships—with 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 Robinson’s definitive biography of O’Keeffe 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 O’Keefe in an artistic context over the last thirty years since the book was first published, as well as previously unpublished letters of the young O’Keeffe to her lover, Arthur MacMahon. This book also relates the story of Robinson’s own encounter with the artist.
As interest in O’Keeffe continues to grow among museum-goers and scholars alike, this book remains indispensable for understanding her life and art.
Critics Review
“The best book ever written on O’Keeffe…An invaluable resource.”
“A profoundly human treatment of O’Keeffe and all the people who figured prominently in her life.”
“Robinson’s comprehensive biography gives a vivid account of O’Keeffe’s remarkable artistic career.”
“Chockablock with intriguing detail…It gives us the first sensible discussion of how photography influenced O’Keeffe’s painting—her closeups, wide angles, cropping, distortion of scale, and zooms.”
“The most comprehensive O’Keeffe biography to date, this essentially feminist reading convincingly builds its case from a wealth of sources…to explain less the woman-behind-the-myth than how and why the woman herself became myth-maker.”
“Alternates with an absorbing, intimate narrative of O’Keeffe’s personal life (including her notorious relationship with Juan Hamilton, six decades her junior, and the public battle over her estate) to provide a resourceful, imaginatively rendered portrait of a dauntingly difficult subject.”
