This is another good overview of her life, but this one doesn't have the nice color plates that the last book did. It is fairly comprehensive in exploring who she was and has some nice pics, just not quite as good as the last book on her that I read.
A beautifully designed and illustrated, and engagingly written chronicle of O'Keeffe's life and work.
This biography chronicles O’Keefe’s life through 17 visually stunning chapters filled with colors that complement her paintings
