Georgia O’Keeffe was a major figure in American art for seven decades. Throughout that long and prolific career she remained true to her unique artistic vision, creating a highly individual style that synthesized the formal language of modern European abstraction and the subjects of traditional American pictorialism. The main subjects to which she returned again and again were the flowers, animal bones and landscapes around her studios in Lake George, New York, and finally New Mexico, with which she has become identified.

This comprehensive and illuminating new book surveys the complete drawings, watercolours and paintings from all periods – and explains her life in the context of her artistic output. The text benefits from the recent publication of the artist’s catalogue raisonné, and is accompanied by a full complement of colour plates and comparative black-and-white photographs.
