Georgia O'Keeffe 1887-1986, Flowers in the Desert

The art of American painter Georgia O'Keefe (1887-1986) is splendid with color and laden with hidden sexuality. O'Keefe's name rests mainly on the large-format flower pictures that have assured her an unusual place in the annals of art, between realist and abstract. Britta Benke traces the idiosyncratic nature of O'Keefe's career. The numerous illustrations in this book document the most important periods in her lengthy life in art.
