Portrait of an Artist: A Biography of Georgia O'Keeffe
by Laurie Lisle
informative
medium-paced
This is an in-depth biography of Georgia O'keeffe's life, from her family's background through her whole artistic career. This biography mostly glosses over her life past her late 60s.
I enjoy art but I am by no means an art enthusiast and I am not artistically talented at all. So I knew Georgia O'keeffe was a famous artist at a time when women weren't recognized for much and that she painted flowers and the southwestern landscape. I found this biography interesting, mostly because Georgia was an interesting person. I like that she was a woman who did her own thing but not sure I think of her as a particularly good person. Although the book was dry at times I learned a lot and had fun looking up some of the highlighted paintings.
