Book Reviews of Georgia O'Keeffe: Nature and Abstraction
Book Review: Gorgeous, glossy book of large images. You won't be disappointed!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a WONDERFUL book.
It measures 10"x11", hardcover. The format of the book is basically an exhibit catalogue for "Nature and Abstraction"- each full color plate (77 of them -really lovely and large) is faced by a page with brief details of the artwork.
There are about 30 pages of text/images that precede the true highlight of this book: 77 LARGE, FULL COLOR images, most of which take up the entire page they are on. There is not a lot of white space around the images, which is such a nice treat from the postage-stamp-size images in some art books. Some of the artwork featured is very famous (her flowers) and some of is is less known (some of her abstractions- so beautiful!) but it's all worth having. The pages of the book are thick and glossy, the images are in bright, vibrant color.
If you're a Georgia O'Keeffe fan, and especially interested in her use of color, line, and detail, this book is a must-have. I have several books about her and I've always wanted one that was basically JUST her art without a lot of text. This books fits that need perfectly.
Summary of Georgia O'Keeffe: Nature and Abstraction
Georgia O?Keeffe: Nature and Abstraction?published for the exhibition at Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin?explores O?Keeffe?s method of transforming known or recognizable objects into painted abstractions that express the essential elements of form, color, and allusion. This catalog presents O?Keeffe?s oeuvre through a selection of paintings that display her penchant for abstract forms derived from her personal observation of the natural world. It displays the development of her aesthetic vocabulary, as well as it?s evolution?as seen through her later work which she created well into the 1970s. Also presented are examples of O?Keeffe?s personal inspirations, such as flowers, trees, dried bones, and aerial perspectives, as well as her favorite places, such as New York City and New Mexico.Artists, A-Z Books
