- Description
- In 1973 Georgia O'Keeffe employed C. S. Merrill to catalog her library for her estate. Merrill, a poet who was a graduate student at the University of New Mexico, was twenty-six years old and O'Keeffe was eighty-five, almost blind, but still painting. Over seven years, Merrill was called upon for secretarial assistance, cooking, and personal care for the artist. Merrill's journals reveal details of the daily life of a genius. The author describes how O'Keeffe stretched the canvas for her twenty-six-foot cloud painting and reports on O'Keeffe's favorite classical music and preferred performers. Merrill provided descriptions of nature when she and the artist went for walks: she read to O'Keeffe from her favorite books and helped keep her space in meticulous order.

- Description
- Forced to become self-supporting by financial panics and civil war, thousands of young women moved to New York City between 1850 and 1880 to pursue careers as professional artists. At the Cooper Union School of Design for Women they were imbued with the Unity of Art ideas, an aestetic ideology that made no distinction between fine and applied arts or male and female abilities.The women became painters, designers, engravers, colorists, and art teachers. What their letters, documents, and artwork reveal is that for one brief generation women could realize their potentials as artists. This book recovers that moment. The book also tells the story of how art is used to create, alter, and justify a nation's political economy. It is women artists' chronicle of both the liberating and the destructive effects of capitalist production in a democratic society.

- Description
- Describes how Alfred Stieglitz's search for a pure, essential 'woman in art' led him to several women before his vision found ultimate expression in Georgia O’Keeffe, whom Stieglitz portrayed as the shining, liberated feminine figure of his movement. The author portrays women who were affiliated with the Stieglitz circle, namely Gertrude Käsebier, Pamela Colman Smith, Anne Brigman, and Katharine Nash Rhoades. She argues how these artists helped define the woman modernist through their lives and their individual photographs and paintings. This publication accompanied an exhibition at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in fall 2007.

Richards, who renounced formalism at Black Mountain College to pursue new performative methods: and Susan Peterson, best known for her live throwing demonstrations on public television.
