In flight from her hectic New York life with her avidly sociable
husband, photographer Alfred Stieglitz, and in pursuit of quiet and
isolation, O'Keeffe found the perfect refuge in New Mexico. Her passion
for the land and sky and her profound attachment to her homes at Ghost
Ranch and Abiquiu shape and vitalize all of her best-known paintings,
yet the full story of how she acquired and lived and worked in these
sanctuaries has never been told before. Lynes (Georgia O'Keeffe Museum
Collections, 2007), curator of the Georgia O'Keefe Museum in Santa Fe,
and Lopez, director of Abiquiu Historic Properties, thoroughly and
thoughtfully chronicle the ways the artist turned her cherished homes
and studios into veritable works of art. With information on adobe
construction and the Pueblo Revival style, striking black-and-white
photographs of the artist in her homes by such famous photographers as
Ansel Adams, O'Keeffe's paintings of Ghost Ranch and Abiquiu, and new
color photographs that capture the enduring beauty and serenity of
O'Keeffe's gracefully pristine sanctuaries, this is a gorgeous and
enriching addition to the O'Keeffe collection. Booklist (11/01/2012):
