Description

Bronze Winner for Photography in 2020 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards

Georgia OKeeffe remains an icon, continuing to inspire generations to break barriers and embrace the natural world in both art and life. Featuring sixty-four lush, full-color photographs, this stunning new work captures OKeeffe as she neared her ninetieth birthday, showcasing her homes and companions at Ghost Ranch and Abiqui? and the landscapes that inspired her. While OKeeffe and her environs have been the subject of many photographers work, only Varon was specifically chosen by OKeeffe to photograph her work in color.

This book is the first collection of photographs to portray OKeeffe and her surroundings in color. Varon includes an insightful reflection on his experiences with OKeeffe in which he brings the photographs to life in an intimate way. Cody Hartley, the director of the Georgia OKeeffe Museum, and Barbara Buhler Lynes, the foremost OKeeffe scholar, provide further context to Varons photographs.
