Georgia O'Keeffe | Book of Postcards

American painter Georgia O’Keeffe (1887– 1986) was renowned for her close-up paintings of flowers and her images of the American Southwest, works of elegant simplicity that capture the essence of her subject. Also known for her original approach to her art and her independent spirit, she preferred not to limit her paintings by interpreting them, commenting, “I think I’d rather let the painting work for itself than help it with the word.” Presented here are thirty eloquent paintings by one of the most revered and inventive American artists. 30 full-color reproductions.
