Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) was a major figure in American modern art for seven decades . His fame was not associated with changing trends and artistic styles, but with his unique vision, based on the search for abstract and essential forms in nature.
O'Keeffe's primary themes were landscapes, flowers, and bones , which he developed in separate series over several years. Some works spanned decades and resulted in a dozen or even more variations of the same image. An example of this is his famous enlargements of water lilies and daylilies . Magnifying the tiniest petals to fill huge canvases, O'Keeffe created a proto-abstract language of form and line that earned her the nickname "mother of modern American art." In 1946, O'Keeffe became the first woman to have a solo exhibition at MoMA in New York.
This book uncovers O'Keeffe's long and brilliant career through key paintings, contemporary photographs, and portraits of her by Alfred Stieglitz, her husband. We follow the artist through her great creations and successes, and accompany her on her inspirational international travels, from Southeast Asia to India, the Middle East and, in particular, New Mexico, full of magnificent landscapes, vivid colors and vegetation. exotic.
