Georgia O'Keeffe, Photographer

A groundbreaking introduction to the photographic work of an iconic modern artist The pathbreaking artist Georgia OKeeffe (18871986) is revered for her iconic paintings of flowers, skyscrapers, animal skulls, and Southwestern landscapes. Her photographic work, however, has not been explored in depth until now. After the death of her husband, the photographer Alfred Stieglitz, in 1946, photography indeed became an important part of OKeeffes artistic production. She trained alongside the photographer Todd Webb, revisiting subjects that she had painted years beforelandforms of the Southwest, the black door in her courtyard, the road outside her window, and flowers. OKeeffes carefully composed photographs are not studies of detail or decisive moments; rather, they focus on the arrangement of forms. This is the first major investigation of OKeeffes photography and traces the artists thirty-year exploration of the medium, including a complete catalogue of her photographic work. Essays by leading scholars address OKeeffes photographic approach and style and situate photography within the artists overall practice. This richly illustrated volume significantly broadens our understanding of one of the most innovative artists of the twentieth century.
