Full Bloom
The Art and Life of Georgia O'Keeffe
"The definitive life of O'Keeffe."
—Hilton Kramer, Los Angeles Times
GEORGIA O'KEEFFE (1887?1986) was one of the
most successful American artists of the twentieth
century: her arresting paintings of enormous, intimately
rendered flowers, desert landscapes, and stark
white cow skulls are seminal works of modern art.
But behind O'Keeffe's bold work and celebrity was a
woman misunderstood by even her most ardent
admirers. This large, finely balanced biography offers
an astonishingly honest portrayal of a life shrouded
in myth.
"Tells with scholarly aplomb the tale of a fiercely
independent artist who stuck by her gifts through
thick and thin. Drohojowska-Philp . . . allows facts to
speak for themselves. The result is a moving, insightful
object-lesson."—Carey Lovelace, Ms.
"The most complete biography we are likely to
have for some time. . . . Full Bloom does indeed present
her in full."—Sarah Douglas, Artnet Magazine
HUNTER DROHOJOWSKA-PHILP is a regular
contributor to a number of publications,
including ARTnews, Art in America, Architectural
Digest, and the Los Angeles Times. This is her first
book. She lives in Los Angeles.
