| Description: |
The authors examine the significance of Georgia O'Keeffe's collection of her own work. Her visual vocabulary evolved during the first 20 years of her career and, seeking the essential forms in the subjects she painted, she was the first American artist to experiment with abstraction. |
| Synopsis: |
Georgia O'Keeffe was one of America's pre-eminent artists and one of the first to experiment with abstract form, although she never abandoned her deep response to and observation of nature. An enormously popular artist, she became identified and respected as an independent spirit through both her life and her art. At the time of her death in 1986, Georgia O'Keeffe owned more than half of the approximately 2,000 works she had produced during the eighty years she was active as an artist: some 400 works in oil, charcoal, pastel, pencil and watercolour, as well as more than 700 sketches. For various reasons, she had always kept a portion of her art out of the public eye and these works were not published, exhibited, or available for purchase during her lifetime. Among the works that had been exhibited and sold over the years, some were repurchased by O'Keeffe as they became available. This book explores for the first time the significance of O'Keeffe's collection of her own work.Approximately 75 seminal works, dating from about 1910 through the 1960s and reproduced in full colour, document the range and quality of the art that O'Keeffe either chose to retain in her estate or consciously distributed to institutions in her lifetime and as bequests. It reveals her thinking in relation to her oeuvre, providing a unique perspective from which to understand O'Keeffe as artist and collector. |
