Georgia O'Keeffe: A Life by Roxana Robinson

4.0

In high school a friend bought this book for me at a used book sale. It's a really great biography, and it made a large impression on me as a teenager wanting to be an artist. I was especially inspired by the artist's struggle to find a place for herself in art at a time when the only thing it was thought a female artist could be is a teacher.
Georgia O'Keefe is one of those artists that you are not supposed to like, but I don't care, I love her art. It is an incredible artist who can make flowers look wild and skulls illuminating. Robinson's descriptions of O'Keefe's art helped me realize this.
