About the Book

The untold story of an icon of twentieth-century art. Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) was one of the most successful American artists of the twentieth century: her arresting paintings of enormous, intimately rendered flowers, desert landscapes, and stark white cow skulls are seminal works of modern art. But behind O'Keeffe's bold work and celebrity was a woman misunderstood by even her most ardent admirers. This large, finely balanced biography offers an astonishingly honest portrayal of a life shrouded in myth. When she was still unknown as an artist, O'Keeffe married Alfred Stieglitz, twenty-three years her senior and well established as a pioneer in art photography. The relationship was physically and intellectually passionate, but Stieglitz was a man of the world. Through the author's access to previously unavailable materialsincluding interviews with Dorothy Norman, Alfred Stieglitz's longtime paramourwe are offered new knowledge about O'Keeffe's defining relationships and the effect of her husband's infidelity. Driven to a nervous breakdown by the Norman affair, O'Keeffe relocated and redefined herself in New Mexico, where she created her unforgettable signature paintings. 16 pages of black-and-white illustrations, 32 color plates.

Review :
"This new biography of O'Keefe cuts the pack afresh. It turns up cards that O'Keefe would have ignored or concealed. The story of her life becomes messier, yet, for that very reason, more impressive and more intriguing... Drohojowska-Philp is an expert guide to O'Keefe's world. She catches the gang of photographers and artists attached to Stieglitz, as impresario of modern American art, a role he fulfilled with club-like affability." Frances Spalding, The Sunday Times, 12 February 2005 "Another romantic legend wobbled this week as Norton published Full Bloom, a biography of Georgia O'Keefe, the American painter best known for her sensual close-ups of flowers. Its author, Hunter Drohojowska-Philp, has attained access to journals that expose the sadness that lay, like a scorpion amid the petals, at the heart of one of the art world's most celebrated love affairs." Rachel Campbell-Johnston, The Times, 17 February 2005
