Synopsis
This biography draws on many sources closed to writers during O'Keeffe's lifetime and has the co-operation of the O'Keeffe family. Her life spanned nearly a century of ferment and change in America and although part of the modernist movement she established her own unique vision. She was deeply influenced by feminist thought, having experience the early suffrage movement before World War I. During the next wave of feminist thought in the seventies, she was hailed as a heroine.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Georgia O'Keeffe is arguably the 20th century's leading woman artist. Coming of age along with American modernism, her life was rich in intense relationships -- with family, friends, and especially noted photographer Alfred Stieglitz. Her struggle between the rigorous demands of love and work resulted in extraordinary accomplishments. Her often-eroticized flowers, bones, stones, skulls, and pelvises became extremely well known to a broad American public. The New York Times Book Review named this richly detailed and moving biography a Notable Book of the Year.

Etat : Used. Georgia O?Keeffe (1990) Roxana Robinson ? Bloomsbury ISBN: 0747507570 Condition: Used (in the best ?lived with, thought about, carried around? way) Vendor: Crappy Old Books Here she is: Georgia O?Keeffe ? the woman who painted flowers so close-up that a century of viewers leaned in and loudly had feelings about it. In this thoughtful biography, Roxana Robinson tackles one of art history?s most mythologised humans: the high priestess of desert bones, skyscrapers and suspiciously suggestive petals. Rather than just repeating the Greatest Hits? Look, a giant flower! Look, a cow skull! Look, New Mexico! ?Robinson actually goes looking for the person behind the legend. Inside these attractively lived-in pages you?ll find: Georgia the restless young artist figuring out who she is in a world that mostly expects women to be charming, quiet and not too interesting. Georgia the reluctant muse , entangled with Alfred Stieglitz: photographer, promoter, husband, storm system. Expect letters, arguments, nudes, and the occasional mutual genius. Georgia the New York modernist , painting skyscrapers while everyone else is still composing polite still lifes with fruit and tablecloths. Georgia the Southwest icon , heading for New Mexico like it?s the promised land, collecting bones and mesas, discovering that solitude and sunlight suit her infinitely better than dinner parties. Art, yes?but also money, illness, love, control, independence, and the general difficulty of being a fiercely driven woman with a very clear idea of what she does and does not want. Robinson writes with that steady, intelligent clarity that says: I admire this woman, but I?m not here to worship; I?m here to explain. Expect psychology, context and actual nuance, not just misty-eyed desert worship. Our copy is graded Used , which in the plain-spoken universe of Crappy Old Books means: The cover shows the usual signs of having actually left the house: a little edge wear, maybe a faint crease or two, the sort of cosmetic scuffing Georgia herself would probably regard with approval. The spine is creased enough to prove someone got beyond the photo section and into the text?always a good sign in an art biography. Still perfectly intact, just pleasantly broken-in, like a favourite paintbrush. The pages are all present, clean and eminently readable, with a touch of gentle age-toning that pairs nicely with late-night reading and mild existential reflection. You might find the odd dog-ear, pencilled note or flattened bookmark where a previous reader muttered ?oh, that explains that painting.? No catastrophic coffee spills, no experimental colour tests in the margins, no pages torn out for mood boards ? just honest readerly wear. Not mint, not museum-grade, but perfect for actual human use , which is what books secretly prefer. Perfect for: Art lovers who know the imagery but want the life, not just the posters. Fans of complicated, formidable women who happily refused to fit the mould and then painted the mould?s bones in the desert for emphasis. Students and gallery-goers who?d like to be able to say something smarter than ?aren?t the flowers? interesting? while staring at a massive canvas. Anyone who?s ever wanted to run away somewhere beautiful, get some peace and quiet, and reinvent themselves with a better view. Georgia O?Keeffe by Roxana Robinson is a rich, engaging portrait of an artist who spent a lifetime insisting on doing things her own way?and largely succeeding. Available now from Crappy Old Books , where our biographies are dog-eared, our geniuses are difficult, and our ?Used? condition means someone else already did the first round of underlining for you. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. N° de réf. du vendeur 112
