1. This is a most interesting treatment of O'Keefe, Modernism, gender, and place. I began the book with misgivings -- I don't always like Dijkstra -- but this is useful, interesting, and a pleasure to read. One caveat -- like many books written about art by non-art historians, the reproductions are scandalously bad. I had to check out two (2) books from the library to make sense of the paintings. This is undoubtedly not Dijkstra's fault, but the fault of the Press. The only decent reproduction (the only one in color) is on the DUSTJACKET! Oh, well, what can we say.

1. A pretty substantial biography of artist Georgia O'Keefe. Covers her entire life and sheds enlightenment on all the factors that led to her hermitic life near Taos. While sympathetic to O'Keefe, this book does indulge in, or rather addresses, topics that O'Keefe would never discuss herself. Stories of her famous temper and lesbianism are shared with interviews from close friends. Parts of the book feel like a tell-all National Enquirer article, but the author does a good job of keeping it all in context, after all it must not have been easy for O'Keefe to become a celebrity symbol of feminism. Not sure how this book would compare to other O'Keefe bios as I haven't read any other ones, but this is a very enjoyable and informative book.

1. Georgia O'Keeffe always said that she was impatient with visual clutter; that she wanted to get rid of details that got in the way of real meanings; and that abstract painting could deal with concepts, emotions, and ideas. The GEORGIA O'KEEFFE: CANYON SUITE watercolors are in fact among the earliest U.S. abstract art painted directly from nature. They include abstract images of natural phenomena, such as "Abstraction, Black and Blue," with lightning bolts and rain sheets through darkened sky and ground, "First Light on the Plains," with light haloing through the fuchsia and indigo night, "Gray Abstraction (Train/Desert)," with former motion stilled in trails against the sky, and "Light Coming on the Plains," with Japanese brushed color tones dragged spectacularly down by gravity and water; recognizable subject matter, such as "Red House/Fence & Door" and her rare "Standing Nude," with the body invaded by the background colors and therefore like one of Auguste Rodin's blurred watercolor nudes; and traditional landscapes, such as "Blue Hills," "Dark Mesa," and "Purple Mountain." Editor Barbara J. Bloemink's text gives helpful background to understanding the artist and the color plates, and to reading Benita Eisler's O'KEEFFE AND STIEGLITZ and Roxana Robinson's GEORGIA O'KEEFFE. The same interest in colors and shapes, but differently treated, shows through FRIDA KAHLO's art, particularly in the books by Hayden Herrera, Raquel Tibol, and Martha Zamora.

2 comments about The Photography of Alfred Stieglitz: Georgia O'Keeffe's Enduring Legacy.

1. This presentation of the works of a 20th century photographer who worked with Georgia O'Keeffe and others presents over a hundred photos from his career. While it accompanies a traveling exhibition, Photography of Alfred Stieglitz stands alone as a excellent compilation of photos and essays which probe Stieglitz's perspective. The duotones and works are beautifully presented, centered against a white backdrop of edges which work as a frame for the art.



2. I bought this book based on the previous customer's review. While I think it is an excellent book I want to correct what is, I feel, some incorrect information. The book does have over a hundered of Stieglitz's prints but most of them are thumbnails. There are only 42 full size photograghic plates in the books, not over a hundred.
