Georgia O'Keeffe at Home by Alicia Inez Guzmán

‘It takes a kind of nerve… and a lot of hard, hard work.’

Georgia O’Keeffe

Georgia O’Keeffe become one of the most important and best-loved American artists of the 20th century. Her work is beautiful, powerful, feminine. Full of live and inspiring. Impressive, but still so humble.

There are so many works of hers I love. Many of them are included in this beautifully written and illustrated book by Alicia Inez Guzmán. A comprehensive and thorough look into the life and work of Georgia O'Keeffe, a splendid book for any art lover.
