Barbara Buhler Lynes
Georgia O'Keeffe's magnificent landscape paintings, flower studies, still lifes, and abstract compositions are greatly admired, yet the wide range of her subjects, her working methods, and her stylistic development have never been fully explored. This beautiful two-volume catalogue raisonné-which presents more than 2,000 works by O'Keeffe in a variety of media-displays her innovative use of color and form, shedding light on her unique contribution to American modernism.
A key figure in the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, O'Keeffe was at the center of the ferment taking place in American art in the early 20th century. Aware of intellectual and aesthetic currents of the period, she nevertheless developed her own work-beginning with her distinctive drawings and watercolors of 1915 to 1917- in highly personal ways. This catalogue includes O'Keeffe's paintings, drawings, watercolors, and sculpture, many of which have never been reproduced, along with entries that provide pertinent factual information. The works are arranged chronologically and are enhanced with a full bibliography, exhibitions listing, and chronology of the artist's life.
