Artists Series: Georgia O'Keeffe by Genevieve Barton
Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) is one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century. She had a unique way of looking at the world, paring back the beauty of nature to capture its essence with fluid and skilful brushstrokes that revealed her expert handling of line, colour and composition. This book is a compelling introduction to the life and work of an extraordinary artist. Beginning with her early study of traditional painting techniques, it charts the significant moment when she chose to break with the established conventions and forge her own path by experimenting with abstraction. Touching on her many travels, including to the rugged deserts of New Mexico that immediately became a powerful source of inspiration for her work, this book provides a rich overview of the radical abstractions, dynamic landscapes and vibrant botanical studies that cemented O'Keeffe as an innovator in the development of American modernism.
Genevieve Barton is Assistant Curator, International Art, at Tate Modern.
