Georgia O'Keeffe

Coming of age during the rise of American modernism, O'Keeffe led a life rich in intense relationships: with family, friends and especially noted photographer Alfred Stieglitz, who became her husband, and with the great ferment of ideas in modern art itself. Drawing on abstraction, modernism, photography and Asian influences, O'Keeffe's powerful and unique body of work has become little short of iconic. The images she created - the red hills, the magnified flowers, the great crosses and white bones - are irrevocably hers and known throughout the world. Written with the cooperation of the O'Keeffe family, and with access to sources closed to biographers during O'Keeffe's lifetime, Robinson's spellbinding biography is the definitive portrait of one of the most enduringly fascinating artists of the twentieth century, and one of the most important female artists of all time.
