Georgia O'Keeffe: A Life

Autor Roxana Robinson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 ian 1991

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.

Recenzii

This is without question the best book ever written on O'Keeffe and an invaluable reattribution not only for scholars but for the general public. It is accurate, insightful, and beautifully written
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
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
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
