Portrait of an Artist: A Biography of Georgia O'Keeffe by Laurie Lisle
informative
slow-paced
3.0
Non-fiction
Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
Why I added this book to my TBR pile: I think I've had this on my shelf for ten years. (I'm talking my first Overdrive Account at the Buffalo Library.) I like learning about historic figures from different walks of life.
Will I read more by about this subject? Probably NotMaybe Definitely
Georgia O'Keeffe was a talented and pioneering woman, but I don't think I would like to meet her, which is good because she wouldn't care about me. She sounds like a typical pompous artist and the author was condescending and uppity as well. At times O'Keeffe wanted to be part of the common people, but she treated them like servants and was rude to most of the rich society people who wanted to know her.
The narrator was Grace Conlin. She read the book well.
