About this listen

One of the greatest and most admired artists of the twentieth century, Georgia O’Keeffe led a life rich in intense relationships—with family, friends, and especially with fellow artist Alfred Stieglitz.

Her extraordinary accomplishments, such as the often eroticized flowers, bones, stones, skulls, and pelvises that she painted with such command, are all the more remarkable when seen in the context of the struggle she waged between the rigorous demands of love and work.

When Roxana Robinson’s definitive biography of O’Keeffe was first published in 1989, it received rave reviews and was named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. This new edition features a new foreword by the author, setting O’Keefe in an artistic context over the last thirty years since the book was first published, as well as previously unpublished letters of the young O’Keeffe to her lover, Arthur MacMahon. This book also relates the story of Robinson’s own encounter with the artist.

As interest in O’Keeffe continues to grow among museum-goers and scholars alike, this book remains indispensable for understanding her life and art.

What an absolutely fantastic biography! Perhaps the best biography of an artist that I have ever read (listened to). I feel like I understand Georgia O’Keeffe rather well, how her brain worked, her philosophy and values, how she thought about things. She was one of those rare people who had no desire to change other people, so this was really special to listen to. I also came to appreciate her love of New Mexico and the big open spaces. I was looking of pictures of her two homes there (as well as her art) while I listened, and it added a lot of richness to the experience. Her art is magnificent and she was a real trailblazer highly recommended.

Amazing biography

This is an amazing biography of an amazing woman. Unfortunately I found the narrator distractingly robotic, but the quality of the works shines through.
