3.0

Though this biography certainly peaked my interest in Georgia O'Keeffe's life and art, I found it to be frustratingly shallow. I would have liked for O'Keeffe's own voice be "heard" more. Also, the writer's inclusion of parts from her own life experience annoyed me to no end! Get over yourself, I am not interested in your life, and it did not add one yota to the story at hand.

Still, as an introduction, this book will do, and I will definitely read more about Georgia O'Keeffe, a fascinating artist who lived to be almost 100 years and, it would appear, refused to follow the seemingly easy paths in life, whether it came to her art or her personal life.

"Go work!"
(Georgia O'Keeffe's standard reply to women who asked about how to become an artist. I take this to heart...)
