The year 1987 marked the centennial of the birth of Georgia O`Keeffe, one of our nation`s best known and inventive artists, and this book of her art celebrates that event. Approximately 120 color and 20 black-and-white illustrations. ** ISBN 0-8212-1686-4. ** Amazon review: One should not commit the injustice of calling this an exhibition catalog, because it stands so well apart from the splendid traveling collection it accompanies. 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, monumental and deeply intellectual. It is far too easy to make O`Keeffe a cultural icon instead of seeing her as one of the America`s two or three greatest artists. This book argues the latter with sweet force. GraceAnne A.
