Book Overview

When Georgia O'Keeffe first visited New Mexico in 1917, she was instantly drawn to the stark beauty of its unusual architectural and landscape forms. In 1929, she began spending part of almost every year painting there, first in Taos, and subsequently in and around Alcalde, Abiquiu, and Ghost Ranch, with occasional excursions to remote sites she found particularly compelling.

One of the best books on O'keeffe

To understand this woman's art, you have to know her place. This is it. Her wellspring. The place she felt at home. I adore this book. To see pictures of the places right next to O'keeffe's versions is just stunning. I believe god gave her Perdinal, after all.

Living in New Mexico

I live 12 miles from Abiquiu, New Mexico where Georgia O'Keefe lived and painted the last 39 plus years of her life. One can only imagine the beauty from her paintings unless you've had the opportunity to see it in person. The book does have quite a few of the paintings she did while living in Abiquiu and at Ghost Ranch; however, if you are interested in reading about her life, the book to read is Portrait of An Artist; A Biography of Georgia O'Keefe by Laurie Lisle. I couldn't put the book down!

A Perfect Place

I've toured her home in Abiquiu, visited the museum in Santa Fe, and now toured Ghost Ranch to view the locales of many of Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings. This book is a perfect reminder of these experiences and one I already treasure.
