Nye bøger: 2006: Georgia O’Keeffe: The Painter in the Desert by Britta Benke. Adventures in Art. 30 pages. Prestel Publishing (April 30, 2006). This celebration of Georgia O’Keeffe’s life and art brings the story of this iconic artist to children. Georgia O’Keeffe’s bold and colorful depictions of the desert are easily recognizable to most adults and endlessly intriguing to the eyes of young readers. This introduction to the life and work of a quintessentially American painter is filled with details of her unique life: her choice to live alone in the desert, her fascination with the treasures she found there, and her eccentric personality. O’Keeffe’s signature paintings are intertwined with photographs of the artist at work to create a seamless narrative that links the painter’s captivating personal history to her iconic art. Britta Benke has written extensively on Georgia O’Keeffe and develops art programs and workshops for elementary school children. Paintings and Photographs by Georgia O’Keeffe / John Loengard. 80 pages. Schirmer/Mosel (May 30, 2006). In June 1966, photographer John Loengard was asked by Life magazine to photograph Georgia O’Keeffe in New Mexico, where she had been living since the late 1930s. Georgia O’Keeffe was 79 years old at the time, Loengard was 32, and for three days he observed and photographed the private life of this pioneer artist who virtually redefined American painting. For this unique book, we selected almost fifty of the finest black-and-white pictures Loengard took of the grand, solitary woman in the desert, and juxtaposed them with selected paintings of hers. They record the course of a day in the life of Georgia O’Keeffe from sunrise to sunset, developing their own quiet, mysterious effect. It becomes clear how much the austere poetry of the landscape corresponded to the artist’s own self-created world and how her artistic imagination was kindled by bleached bones and an infinite desert. Texts by Georgia O’Keeffe and John Loengard Color and Conservation by Rene Paul Barilleaux, Sarah Whitaker Peters, Georgia O'Keeffe, Rene Paul Barilleaus. Hardcover: 168 pages. Publisher: Mississippi Museum of Art (January 31, 2006). Udstillingskatalog. Georgia O'Keeffe's surprisingly traditional craftsmanship was kept secret from the world as long as she lived. But her perfectionist labors-and her constant, painstaking experiments to better her craft-are specifically documented in the 1947-1981 correspondence with her conservator Caroline Keck. The exhibition catalog includes selections from this correspondence, reproduced for the first time by permission of the Georgia O'Keeffe Foundation and annotated by Sarah Whitaker Peters. These fascinating letters contain much new information about the way O'Keeffe thought and worked as an early American modernist. The book also contains three essays and full-color reproductions of all artwork appearing in the exhibition.
