Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) is one of the most enduringly popular American artists--and one of the most compelling. Her monumental depictions of flowers and dramatic landscapes of the desert and cliffs of New Mexico are instantly recognizable as hers. This slim, portable, affordable volume provides readers with a splendid selection of her best works, superbly reproduced from the premier collection of her art--that of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe.
A brief history of the museum opens the book, and its gorgeous paintings are beautifully printed on heavy stock. This volume is a peerless introduction to one of the preeminent artists of the 20th century.
