Reviews

[Amy · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is a quite academic biography of O'Keeffe illustrated with some colour prints and many black and white. I am interested in her life story, but not by the academic criticism of her art. I liked the book of paintings by O'Keeffe herself much better. The two stars are not an evaluation of the book, but of my interest in what it presented.

[Meg · Rating 3 out of 5]

The biographical chronology with photos and the collection of plates are a nice way to get a little deeper into O'Keeffe's world, but the thematic focus of the critical essay feels dated and less useful.

[George · Rating 3 out of 5]

Book contains a fine illustrated chronology and some detailed art critic type discussion.
