From Library Journal
In chronological order, the O'Keeffe paintings that were inspired by the landscape of New Mexico are reproduced in this oversize volume, a companion to Georgia O'Keefe: 100 Flowers , done by the same publisher last year. One always seems driven to oxymoron in describing these paintings: an intellectual lushness of hollows and spaces, controlled forms and explosive color. The recurrent images of hill and stone, bones and flowers, and trees and sky build to an incantatory power here, providing not only an art historical record but an evocation of place akin to Constable's England or Canaletto's Venice. A brief essay by long-time O'Keeffe associate Bry and notes on each of the plates complete the book. For any library that takes collection development seriously in art, women's studies, or the Southwest. --GraceAnne A. DeCandido, "Library Journal"

Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1989 Knopf in association with Callaway: Distributed by Random House (New York), massive, oblong 16 1/2 x 14 inches tall beige cloth hardcover in publisher's unclipped dust jacket, embossed silver design to front cover, silver lettering to spine, pale grey endpapers, copiously illustrated with full color reproductions of artwork, 98, [16] pp. plus laid in is a 14 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches tall card listing 98 titles and dates of paintings.

Despite these superficial flaws, this is a clean, bright and unmarked copy, in a soiled, rubbed and edgeworn dust jacket which has a couple of creases and small edge tears but which is nicely preserved and displayed in a clear archival Brodart sleeve. Despite the weight of the volume, the binding is quite solid. Note that this is a heavy and oversized book, so additional postage will be required for international or priority orders. ~RCL~ [7.0P] The definitive in-depth look at the culminating period in Georgia O'Keeffe's life and work in the American Southwest. Although she began her career as a painter in the East, O?Keeffe considered the West her spiritual home, as well as the greatest source of inspiration. This book features the paintings, both widely published and previously unknown, that linked Georgia O?Keeffe and the Southwest forever in the collective American consciousness. Among the great artists of the 20th-century, Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) stands out as one of the most compelling. For nearly a century, she created innovative impressionist artwork that challenged perceptions and kept evolving throughout her life. One of the first female painters to achieve worldwide acclaim from critics and the public alike, her still lifes and cityscapes filled her canvases with great energy not seen before in the art world. Her magnificent representations of the beauty of the American landscape showcased in In the West are especially beloved. Seller Inventory # RCL-0642-14543
