This book was published to cincide with the exhibition O'Keeffe and Texas held at The Marion Koogler McNay Art Museum, in San Antonio from January 27 to April 5, 1998. Georgia Totto O'Keeffe (November 15, 1887-March 6, 1986) was an American artist. She was known for her paintings of enlarged flowers, skyscrapers, and New Mexico landscapes. O'Keeffe has been recognized as the "Mother of American modernism". In 1972, O'Keeffe's eyesight was compromised by macular degeneration, leaving her with only peripheral vision. She stopped oil painting without assistance in 1972, but continued working in pencil and charcoal until 1984. Juan Hamilton taught O'Keeffe to work with clay and, working with assistance, she produced clay pots and a series of works in watercolor. In 1976, she wrote a book about her art and allowed a film to be made about her in 1977. In 1962, O'Keeffe was elected to the fifty-member American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 1966, she was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 1977, President Ford presented her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 1985, she was awarded the National Medal of Arts. This is a study of the formative period in the career of the American abstract artist, Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986). The colour reproductions in the book, which was published to accompany an exhibition held at the Marion Koogler MacNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas, in the spring of 1998, present powerful images made in Texas between 1912 and 1918-all of them different from the flowers and animal bones normally associated with O'Keeffe's work. The author sets out to show how the powerful light and stark landscape of Texas resonate throughout the paintings, and offers an examination of how the themes developed by the artist in Texas continued to affect her artistic vision over the next half-century. Dr. Sharyn Udall is an Art Historian, author, and independent curator who has written, taught and lectured widely on 19th and 20th century American and European art. The author of eight books, as well as many exhibition catalogs and scholarly articles, her special research interests include the art of the Southwest, American modernism, women in the visual arts, and the creative connections among visual artists, performing artists and writers. She has lived in Santa Fe most of her adult life.
