O'Keeffe and Stieglitz: An American Romance
by Benita Eisler
On This Page
Description
Almost 24 years his junior, Georgia O'Keeffe became for Alfred Stieglitz a near icon of American art--as well as his wife. In a marvelous, multileveled biography, Benita Eisler traces the epic and stormy relationship of these incomparable artists, from their consuming ambition to their sexual experimentation.Tags

Though a longish book, there was plenty of historical information available in it and names for me to look up if interested. Not a great piece of writing here, but certainly passable for a biography. Of course, there was nothing of the author in this book, no personal connection of herself to her subjects except for the obvious disdain for Georgia O'Keeffe's often cold and judgmental abruptness toward other people. I also felt the author did not particularly like that Georgia enjoyed her sex and the partaking of it with others of the same. But I took this reading of mine as more of a textbook study of two artists who happened to have a personal relationship with each other. There was nothing I can take with me from here except that show more these two became old too soon, were often cruel, and remained that way somewhat happily for many years. show less
