"The definitive life of O'Keeffe." —Hilton Kramer, Los Angeles Times; "Tells with scholarly aplomb the tale of a fiercely independent artist who stuck by her gifts through thick and thin. Drohojowska-Philp . . . allows facts to speak for themselves. The result is a moving, insightful object-lesson."—Carey Lovelace, Ms. "The most complete biography we are likely to have for some time. . . . Full Bloom does indeed present her in full."—Sarah Douglas, Artnet Magazine Georgia O'Keefe (1887?-1986) was one of the most successful American artists of the twentieth century: her arresting paintings of enormous, intimately rendered flowers, desert landscapes, and stark white cow skulls are seminal works of modern art. But behind O'Keeffe's bold work and celebrity was a woman misunderstood by even her most ardent admirers. This large, finely balanced biography offers an astonishingly honest portrayal of a life shrouded in myth. 16 pages of b/w illustrations, 32 pages of color.
