Georgia O'Keeffe : a life well lived
(Book)

"Georgia O'Keeffe remains an icon, continuing to inspire generations to break barriers and embrace the natural world in both art and life just as she did throughout her days. Featuring sixty-four lush, full-color photographs, this stunning new work captures O'Keeffe as she neared her ninetieth birthday, showcasing her homes and companions at Ghost Ranch and Abiquiu and the landscapes that inspired her. While O'Keeffe and her environs have been the subject of many photographers' work, only Varon was specifically chosen by O'Keeffe to photograph her works in color. To this day Varon's photographs are a primary source for exhibition catalogues and reproductions of O'Keeffe's work. This book is the first collection of photographs to portray O'Keeffe and her surroundings in color, making it a remarkable portrait of a fiercely independent woman and artist. Varon includes an insightful reflection on his experiences with O'Keeffe in which he brings the photographs to life in an intimate way"--Adapted from book jacket
