A propos de cet article

306, (1) pages. 25 x 32 cm - This is a book of wonders in many respects. The essays illuminate selected corners of O'Keeffe's life and art. The letters, full of vivacity, keen insight, and hard thinking, show how she saw her life and chose to live. Above all are the brilliantly reproduced paintings; easily seen as sensual, they are also tightly controlled visions of color and form. Some staining to covers, very bottom corner (margins) of last two dozen pages and very edge of first 4 pages. Otherwise, the book is, internally, in very good shape.Very large and heavy volume. Frontis. Letters Selected and Annotated by Sarah Greenough. ix. Chronology. Bibliography. Index. 120 Color Plates. Illustrations.
