Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Focusing on the period 1915-1930, this rewarding, stunningly illustrated study pinpoints influences--from art nouveau to Kandinsky--which O'Keeffe absorbed.
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Library Journal
In this thoughtful and thought-provoking art historical study, Peters first traces strands of Art Nouveau and Symbolist theory in the art of Georgia O'Keeffe. She then discusses other influences, from Arthur Dow as teacher to Paul Strand as photographer and friend. But by far the most sustained study in the text is the relationship between O'Keeffe's painting and the photography and philosophy of her husband, Alfred Stieglitz. Peters argues lucidly and always in accessible language for O'Keeffe's emergence as a great and deeply individual artist while illuminating these many influences and illustrating her points with lavish use of excellent reproductions. This is the most intelligent book yet done on O'Keeffe. A worthy purchase for most collections.
