    A convincing imagining of Georgia O'Keffe's life
  

*by P***C on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2016*

What Dawn Tripp has done is very difficult to do on many levels. One is to dare to assume the voice of one of the most iconic Americans of the 20th century. She committed to a voice and carried it through, with only the most momentary wobbles. Secondly, the first person is often chosen for the joys of creating the 'unreliable narrator', but Tripp picks a different route creating a woman who has her egoism, but also a lot of insight about herself and the man she married. Thirdly, this version of O'Keffe is complex - certainly not entirely likable, sometimes unkind and even cruel, but a believable mix of the good and bad angels we carry within us. Fourthly, she's written at some length about what she imagines painting felt like for O'Keffe in a convincing enough way that you (or at least I) got an inkling of what moved her to paint so compulsively. Fifthly, she's captured how a marriage can go sour, then yo-yo back repeatedly, each time with less spring, until an accommodation is reached. And, finally, she conveys what we would now call Georgia's feminism, but at the time was just a natural reaction to being treated as a woman artist, as opposed to just an artist, in a forthright way without shoving a gendered perspective down our throats. The writing is lyrical throughout, with one arresting image cascading over the next. It's the language of the painter of the intensely observed and often erotic floral paintings. One wonders if someone who loved such stark surroundings of the Texas and New Mexico desert and loved her minimalist abstract work as much as her more vibrant paintings would express herself so fulsomely all the time.  As wonderful as I thought this book is, I suspect O'Keffe, who seems to have been a very private person who carefully preserved varying degrees of emotional distance from everyone, including Stieglitz (according to this novel), would have quite likely hated this book.

    Easy to put down and walk away from.
  

*by A***D on Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2018*

I find myself putting the book down after about five pages each time I pick it up. I'm curious enough to continue because of the numerous five star reviews I read before purchasing the book. I suspect if I weren't interested in art history, I would simply move on to another book. So far, It reads too much like a sex filled romance novel for me to allocate more than two stars.I finished the book for the same reasons I would finish a fast food meal: I had paid for it and it was good enough. For my money, I got as much insight into O'Keeffe's life and a more enjoyable reading experience with Robyn Lea's book, Cooking with Georgia O'Keeffe.

    Beautifully written book about an amazing artist
  

*by D***K on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2020*

This is a moving book about an amazing artist. I have loved her paintings, but never realized what a fascinating woman she was. The author definitely brings her to life in this book. The book is well researched, and focuses on her entire life, her relationship with Stieglitz, and with other artists of her time (Demuth, etc.) Of course, I had to research some of the paintings as I read the book. The author's writing is beautiful, at times, as beautiful and insightful as one of Georgia's paintings. She captures the feeling of immersing yourself in your art, whatever it is. As a person who has dabbled in painting, I really identified with the thoughts expressed. One of my favorite quotes: "It occurs to me now that art is exactly this: making what’s unseen but all around us, visible. Having that sort of faith." Looking forward to visiting Georgia's museum later this year, now knowing, through this book, what a unique and amazing woman she was.
