This book radiates a subtle understanding of complex human relations and pulsates with a quiet dramatic power
An ideal reader might start it without preconceptions about American painting generally, or O'Keeffe in particular. By the final page he should be hooked on both
Illuminating and fair-minded guide to the American art scene in the early and mid-twentieth century . Above all, Robinson makes one aware of the amount of hard work, self-sacrifice and singleminded determination which went into O'Keeffe's long career
Never have the controversial events and minutiae of O'Keeffe's life been presented so completely and even-handedly as in Roxana Robinson'sGeorgia O'Keeffe
Chockablock with intriguing detail, some apt insight, and best of all, O'Keeffe's own voice - in her letters and in the words of her family and friends who wouldn't talk to anyone before the artist's death at the age of 98 in 1986. 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 (some unavailable before her death) to explain less the woman-behind-the-myth than how and why the woman herself became myth-maker

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
This biography draws on many sources closed to writers during O'Keeffe's lifetime and has the co-operation of the O'Keeffe family. Her life spanned nearly a century of ferment and change in America and although part of the modernist movement she established her own unique vision. She was deeply influenced by feminist thought, having experience the early suffrage movement before World War I.
During the next wave of feminist thought in the seventies, she was hailed as a heroine.
