Roxana Robinson Knihy

Born on a Wisconsin wheat farm in 1887 as the second of seven children, Georgia O'Keeffe was attuned to nature's beauty from an early age. By her twenties, she had emerged as a formidable artist and a spirited individual. Her journey took her from Chicago to New York, where she embraced the modernist movement and was influenced by the work of photographer and art dealer Alfred Stieglitz. Initially working as a commercial artist and art teacher, O'Keeffe developed a unique style that caught Stieglitz's attention, leading him to exhibit her work. Their relationship blossomed, culminating in marriage in 1924, as she became both muse and artist within a vibrant artistic community. O'Keeffe later fell in love with the enchanting landscapes of New Mexico, spending half her year there before permanently relocating after Stieglitz's death in 1949. She found solace in the beauty of Ghost Ranch, north of Abiquiu. Roxana Robinson's captivating biography chronicles O'Keeffe's artistic journey, her loves and losses, and her resilience. Updated for the twenty-first century with a new foreword and access to previously unseen letters, this definitive portrait, created with the O'Keeffe family's cooperation, offers an unparalleled glimpse into the life of one of history's most significant female artists.
