Description
Georgia O'Keeffe To See Takes Time by Samantha Friedman is a richly illustrated volume that reunites many serial works for the first time. The book showcases lesser-known works on paper, including charcoal drawings, watercolor, pastel and graphite pieces that belong to series in which Georgia O'Keeffe develops and transforms motifs between observation and abstraction. These works, created over several decades, demonstrate O'Keeffe's persistently sequential practice. The majority of her works in charcoal, watercolor, pastel and graphite are grouped according to the designation "specials," while others form sequences in watercolor of abstract lines, organic landscapes and nudes. This publication highlights the drawings of an artist better known as a painter, providing new insights into O'Keeffe's artistic practice. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, this volume features individual sheets reunited with their contextual series to illuminate O'Keeffe's artistic development.
