Description: "Georgia O'Keeffe and Ansel Adams met when both were in Taos, New Mexico, in 1929, and formed a lifelong friendship. Drawn to the American Southwest by its stark and extraordinary beauty, O'Keeffe and Adams produced bodies of work that would forever alter our perception of its landscape." "This publication and the exhibition it accompanies explore the significance of these artists' achievements in capturing the reality and essence of the world around them, and illuminate various parallels between their distinctive visions of the natural world." "Essays by Barbara Buhler Lynes (on how O'Keeffe and Adams presented themselves in their bestselling autobiographies), Richard B. Woodward (on the relationship of Stieglitz, Adams, and O'Keeffe), and Sandra S. Phillips (on art that influenced Adams) provide new perspectives on the lives and work of these beloved American artists."--Jacket.
Notes: Published in conjunction with an exhibition held at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, Santa Fe, May 23-Sept. 7, 2008, and at three other venues through Sept. 20, 2009.
