Georgia O'Keeffe
(Deutsche Ausgabe)
Georgia O'Keeffe is the pioneer of American painting.
On the occasion of a major retrospective at the Fondation Beyeler, the accompanying catalog is dedicated to one of the most important painters of the 20th century and an outstanding figure in modern American art: Georgia O'Keeffe. From her earliest abstractions of the 1910s, which made O'Keeffe a pioneer of American abstract painting, her iconic flower paintings, and her singular landscapes of the American Southwest, to her groundbreaking late work, the richly illustrated catalog offers a comprehensive overview of the artist's multifaceted oeuvre spanning some six decades. Special attention is given to the relevance of O'Keeffe's bold and radical way of seeing, with which she viewed her surroundings and translated them into new and never-before-seen images of reality.
GEORGIA O'KEEFFE (1887-1986) is one of the most important painters of the 20th century. In 1946, she became the first artist to hold a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In Santa Fe, the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum houses the largest collection of her work in the world.
