Georgia O’Keeffe turned nature into art. With deep sensitivity to nuances of color, shape, depth, and line, she transformed the objects she collected and the spaces she loved into dynamic compositions that oscillate between realism and abstraction. This illustrated overview of O’Keeffe’s career reveals how a young woman from Wisconsin became one of the 20th century’s most famous women artists, learning, as she put it, “to paint as I wanted to and to say what I wanted to when I painted.”
