198728854Washington DC:: New York Graphic Society 1987. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. The essays in this exhibition catalog 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. New York Graphic Society, unknown
