Some Memories of Drawings

Product Review

This beautiful book is a collection of Georgia O'Keeffe's major drawings, done between 1915 and 1963. Each drawing is accompanied by the artist's comments, usually on how, why, where, or when she made the drawing. The book was originally published in 1974 in a signed, limited edition of one hundred copies, which has since become a collectors' item. O'Keeffe's text was her first writing intended for book publication. This new edition, including an updated bibliography, is intended, in Doris Bry's words, as "a tribute to O'Keeffe's drawings, an appreciation of her use of the written word, and a proof that a beautifully designed and printed book can be made available to a wide public at an affordable cost."

How charming and unusual to hear in O'Keeffe's own words the stories behind her early drawings -- from the time she stopped all art altogether for some time until she felt she absolutely had to put this on paper, and then see what it was; to stories of New Mexico antelopes, to a portrait, her words and drawings give an entirely new slant to the usual more familiar paintings and biographies.
