Georgia O'Keeffe, in the West (U)

There is something about the American Southwest that speaks directly to the artist's soul, dazzling the eye with its extraordinary light and color and thrilling the spirit with the clarity and intensity, size and grandeur of its unparalleled landscapes. Georgia O'Keeffe first experienced this artistic epiphany in 1929, when she visited New Mexico on the recommendation of a friend. And although she did not permanently move to the area until 1946, the magic of the region changed the course of her life and her art forever.The collaboration between a foremost authority on O'Keeffe's work and a renowned art book designer, this beautiful volume presents some of the artist's most celebrated studies of hill, tree, and bone; desert, mesa, and mountain—revealing in gorgeous full-color plates the unadorned core of the land she so loved and respected and sampling some of the best paintings in the American portfolio. 15" x 13". 152 pp.
