Publisher's Synopsis
Richly illustrated and spanning six decades of her career, this concise introduction provides an insight into the life and work of a much-celebrated and often misinterpreted figure. It explores key bodies of work including O'Keeffe's early engagement with abstraction; her personal and professional partnership with photographer Alfred Stieglitz and his cosmopolitan circle; her still lifes and flower paintings; her journey to New Mexico; and her late abstractions, the culmination of a lifetime's immersion in the landscape.
