informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

My grandma passed in 2022 and I inherited this book from her library. It's clear from Georgia O'Keeffe was a fiercely individual, fearless and interesting woman, and in some ways, my grandma was very similar. The writing is good, but lacks the flow to be really gripping, and the book itself would have been served well by including reproductions of the artworks it extensively discussed - I can't be too mad, because it was probably for licencing reasons - but the book was overall a slow and challenging read, even though the subject matter was very interesting.
