Publisher Synopsis
"A definitive, scholarly landmark."-Library Journal Library Journal "Greenough...provides passages of text to complete the narrative of the couple's relationship and also to provide insights and analysis." -Los Angeles Review of Books Los Angeles Review of Books "A love story pitched at the highest romantic level."-New York Times Book Review New York Times Book Review "At a time when an ordinary novel might cost $25 or more, you can acquire for just under $40 the intimate correspondence between two of the most important and influential American artists of all time: the great photographer Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) and the arguably even greater painter Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986)."-Michael Dirda, The Washington Post -- Michael Dirda The Washington Post "Senior curator and head of the department of photographs at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., Greenough is a leading Stieglitz scholar. She was told by O'Keeffe in 1981 to make the book 'beautiful' and 'honest.' She has done both."-Hunter Drohojowska-Philp, Art News -- Hunter Drohojowska-Philp Art News "Talk about a book bargain! At a time when an ordinary novel might cost $25 or more, you can acquire for just under $40 the intimate correspondence between two of the most important and influential American artists of all time: the great photographer Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) and the arguably even greater painter Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986)." -Washington Post Washington Post "Human drama - and much else - appears in their letters, but is usefully clarified in the excellent footnotes and interspersed biographical material by editor Sarah Greenough, an authority on the work of Stieglitz and O'Keeffe." -Los Angeles Times Los Angeles Times "This volume brings us the missing pieces in the jigsaw puzzle of O'Keeffe's life." -ARTnews ARTnews Won an award in the typographic category in the 2012 AAUP Book, Jacket & Journal Show -- Typography Prize American Association of University Professors Read more...
