Summary: An interesting summary of the writings of the critics
Comment: The story of O'Keeffe and Stieglitz is one of the most romanticized in American history. He was the father of modern photography and the tireless art promoter who exposed New York to the European Avant-Garde. She was the great American painter who carved her place in history by rendering beautiful images of the Southwest that captured the spirit of freedom in the vanishing American frontier. (Not to mention one of the strongest female figures in the history of art!) Barbara B. Lynes has sifted through the words of nearly a century of art criticism to produce this book, a summary of the critics' reactions to O'Keeffe's work, Stieglitz's portrayal of her in his photographs, and most of all the enduring partnership that would prove to be extremely important in the history of art. This book contains a number of examples of O'Keeffe's work and of Stieglitz's loving portaits of her (all B&W.) It is ideal for those interested in art history in general, the work of either of these individuals, and the emerging feminism in the 1920's.
