Portrait of an Artist: A Biography of Georgia O'Keeffe

Portrait of an Artist: A Biography of Georgia O'Keeffe
- Used Book in Good Condition
Recollections of more than one hundred of Oâ€™Keeffeâ€™s friends, relatives, colleagues, and neighbors as well as published and previously unpublished historical records and letters are used to provide the first full-length biography and in-depth study of the celebrated painterâ€™s life. Georgia Oâ€™Keeffeâ€™s personal mystique is as intriguing and enduring as her bold, brilliant canvases. Portrait of an Artist is the first full account of her exceptional lifeâ€”from her girlhood and early days as a controversial art teacher, to her discovery by the pioneering photographer of the New York avant-garde, Alfred Stieglitz, to her seclusion in the New Mexico desert where she lived until her death at ninety-eight. Equipped with passion, steadfastness, and three years poring over research, former Newsweek reporter Laurie Lisle finally shines a light on one of the most significant and innovative twentieth century artists.
