Portrait of an Artist by Laurie Lisle
5.0
I read this book a long time ago, after first seeing some of the works of Georgia O'Keefe at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. I remember it being a wonderful feeling, something in her paintings resonated at a deep level, I didn't understand it, but I felt it and thus began a curious exploration into her life and works.
I remember this now, because her name has begun to pop up on my radar again, first with this novel [b:Georgia: A Novel of Georgia O'Keeffe|25852871|Georgia A Novel of Georgia O'Keeffe|Dawn Tripp|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1444240304s/25852871.jpg|45720716] due for publication in Feb 2016 and then recently the discovery of a major retrospective of her work, planned from Jul 6 to Oct 30 at the Tate Modern in London, 100 years after her New York debut.
