Roxana Robinson's Georgia O’Keeffe: A Life, originally published in 1989, was one of the first O’Keeffe biographies to use sources previously unavailable during O’Keeffe’s lifetime. In the 30 years since its original release, it has remained a popular title for understanding O'Keeffe's life and art. This updated and expanded edition (available now!) features a new preface by Robinson setting O’Keeffe in artistic context, and never before published letters between O’Keeffe and Arthur Macmahon from 1915 – 1938.
