Georgia O'Keeffe: Watercolors

This 1918 Alfred Stieglitz photograph of Georgia O'Keeffe in Canyon, Texas, is reproduced from Radius Books' remarkable Georgia O'Keeffe: Watercolors. "What we see in the young O'Keeffe in Texas is already a well defined, if still developing, personality," Amy Von Lintel writes in the separate, enclosed archival photo essay with essay. "She was not yet the famous artist hounded by adoring fans, but her strong sense of self was prominent. On the one hand, she was a playful, joyful, ever-smiling young woman filled with passion and wonder… On the other hand, she was stubborn, opinionated and fiercely independent, doing things her own way even if it meant insulting people, getting evicted, or being fired from her job."
