Britta Benke's O'Keeffe is a comprehensive introduction to Georgia O'Keeffe's art, exploring her iconic flower paintings, New Mexico landscapes, and modernist vision. Through reproductions and analysis of O'Keeffe's work from her early abstractions to her late desert paintings, the book examines how she became America's most celebrated female artist. This Taschen volume becomes both art survey and accessible introduction, proving that O'Keeffe's vision was singular and that her flowers and skulls are American icons.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because O'Keeffe created a distinctly American modernism, making flowers monumental and the Southwest spiritual. This accessible volume reminds us that her work is both sensual and abstract, that she resisted being categorized, and that her New Mexico paintings capture the landscape's essence.
