ill., br. Georgia O'Keeffe (Sun Prairie, 1887- Santa Fe, 1986) è una delle artiste statunitensi più innovative degli anni in cui la pittura si affranca dal realismo. Pioniera di un'arte nonoggettiva che miscela chiarezza di visione e urgenza emotiva, sviluppa un punto di vista personale sull'astrattismo ed elabora un metodo compositivo che trova la più fortunata espressione in quei celebri ritratti di fiori dall'intensa carica sensuale. Il libro intreccia cammino personale e artistico, e accanto alle vicende della protagonista si accalcano personaggi del calibro di Steichen, Strand, Demuth, Dove, Marin, Hartley: uno spezzone altamente rappresentativo dell'espressione artistica del secolo breve d'oltreoceano. Avversa alle etichette, ha un rapporto travagliato con la critica maschile: quando la elogiano per lo sfrontato cromatismo, risponde con tonalità sommesse; se invece le ampie volute vengono lette in chiave sessualmente allusiva, replica abbandonando i soggetti più carichi di sentimentalismo per tornare a un repertorio realistico, magari "saccheggiato" ai colleghi maschi.

Signed and inscribed by author upon title page. 194 pages. Endpapers illustrated with cross-section of typical whaler. "The facts of the last voyage of the S.S. Carmel were more exciting than fiction. The whaling fleet of Victoria (British Columbia) is no more, but many of the colourful men who sailed these ships still sail the B.C. coast. There is no other livelihood where a group of people of all races and creeds gather to live and work together in a place of more constant peril and danger for months on end, with only their faith in those who command and walk the bridge to bring them safely home again." - from Foreword.
