Editorial Reviews

From Kirkus Reviews

First in the new ``Portraits of Women Artists for Children'' series, a brief survey of O'Keeffe's life and work. Turner writes intelligently about the evolution of O'Keeffe's distinctive style and subject matter, emphasizing the difficulties women faced in getting an education in art and in being taken seriously as artists at the turn of the century. Biographical details are more cursory but adequate. Illustrated with representative examples of paintings and well-chosen photos. An attractive introduction.

3.0 out of 5 stars O'keeffe for kids, August 1, 2005

This review is from: Georgia O'Keeffe (Portraits of Women Artists) (Library Binding)

Turner, I believe did a good job at summarizing her art with her life. She showed the art with what O'Keefe looked at herserlf. She described what the work meant to O'keeffe and why art was important to her. This overall is a great book to use as a short summary of such a great woman.
