(1) Ms. Dreikausen concentrates on the work of seven artists, discussed as two groups of four and three. According to Dreikausen (in Conclusions, pp. 62-63), the artists of the first group -- Georgia O'Keefe, Susan Crile, Yvonne Jacquette, and Jane Frank (Jane Schenthal Frank) -- are concerned with aerial images as personally experienced from relatively low altitudes, such as views from airplanes, showing recognizable landscape features like rivers and cities. The second group -- represented by Nancy Graves, Charles Ross, and Tilman Kayser, bases its art on a "greater synoptic perspective" (p. 63), often derived from maps, satellite-generated imagery, or photographs taken from spacecraft. This work is more conceptual and less intimate, less based on direct experience. (2) The book also discusses the early modernists' interest in the aerial view as a characteristic new visual domain of the 20th century, especially as this notion is developed in the work and writings of Russian suprematist artist Kasimir Malevich.
