Georgia O'Keeffe in the West [Hardcover]

Rh Value Publishing (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

In chronological order, the O'Keeffe paintings that were inspired by the landscape of New Mexico are reproduced in this oversize volume, a companion to Georgia O'Keefe: 100 Flowers , done by the same publisher last year. One always seems driven to oxymoron in describing these paintings: an intellectual lushness of hollows and spaces, controlled forms and explosive color. The recurrent images of hill and stone, bones and flowers, and trees and sky build to an incantatory power here, providing not only an art historical record but an evocation of place akin to Constable's England or Canaletto's Venice. A brief essay by long-time O'Keeffe associate Bry and notes on each of the plates complete the book. For any library that takes collection development seriously in art, women's studies, or the Southwest. --GraceAnne A. DeCandido, "Library Journal"

5.0 out of 5 stars O'Keeffe's Paintings in beautiful reproductions, December 27, 2002

This review is from: Georgia O'keeffe: In The West (Hardcover)

This book contains selections from Nicholas Callaway's other O'Keeffe books- One Hundred Flowers, In the West, and New York Years. If you own only one of them, this is the one to own. There are some surprising paintings in here, especially if you've only seen the flower paintings before. The book is quite large, and the color reproductions seem pretty accurate from the few paintings I've actually been able to compare. Wonderful book!
