"Although she did not consider them her specialty, Georgia O'Keeffe produced flower paintings so unique and compelling that for many people they remain the quintessence of the genre. No delicate Impressionistic pastels for O'Keeffe, whose garden is filled with fabulous, gargantuan blooms steeped in bold, intoxicating color and sweet perfume. Enlarged to Brobdingnagian proportions, these blossoms sing a siren song, inviting us to disappear inside the velvety, deep recesses of countless funnels, bells, and trumpets, or losing us among the whorls and folds of a thousand fragrant petals. Culled from museums and private collections around the world, this gorgeous, oversized book collects 100 of O'Keeffe's astonishing flower canvases, displaying to perfection the sumptuous color, lavish detail, and sheer sensuality that imbue these beautiful and distinctive artworks. And, though they are bound to create an astonishingly beautiful book, dozens of these brilliantly colored plates lend themselves nicely to matting and framing. 13" x 16"."
