  • "Georgia O'Keeffe (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."
  • "Se analiza la vida y obra de una de las artistas americanas más conocidas del siglo XX. Sus cuadros de flores fundidas de gran tamaño, paisajes desérticos y cráneos de vacas blancos, se convirtieron en iconos del arte moderno. Detrás de estos audaces trabajos fue una mujer incomprendida incluso por sus admiradores. Casada con Alfred Stieglitz, conocido fotógrafo artístico veintitres años mayor, su apasionada relación personal e intelectual marcó su carrera. La aportación de materiales desconocidos hasta el momento, así como, de entrevistas con Dorothy Norman, amante de Stieglitz durante años, nos acercan al retrato de una vida envuelta en el mito."
  • "This volume is a biography of American artist Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986). O'Keeffe is known for large-format paintings of enlarged blossoms, presenting them close up as if seen through a magnifying lens, desert landscapes, and stark white cow skulls. The author examines O'Keeffe's life events in an attempt to discover their influence on her artistic works. He documents O'Keeffe's breakdowns, her domination by husband Alfred Stieglitz, and the long affair between Stieglitz and Dorothy Norman. Driven to a nervous breakdown by Stieglitz's affair, O'Keeffe relocated and redefined herself in New Mexico, where she created her unforgettable signature paintings. Through personal material - including interviews with Dorothy Norman, Stieglitz's longtime paramour - this biography offers an insight into O'Keeffe's defining relationships and the effect of her husband's infidelity, and offers a portrayal of a life shrouded in myth."
