- Description
- The American painter Georgia O'Keeffe (1887–1986) and photographer Alfred Stieglitz (1864–1946) exchanged between 1915 - when they first began to write to each other - and 1946 - when Stieglitz died - over 5.000 letters that describe their daily lives in detail. In this first volume about 650 letters, describing how they met and fell in love in the 1910s, how they carved out a life together in the 1920s, how their relationship nearly collapsed during the early years of the Depression, and how it was reconstructed in the late 1930s and early 1940s. At the same time, the correspondence reveals the evolution of their art and ideas, their friendships with many of the most influential figures in early American modernism (a.o. Charles Demuth, Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, and Paul Strand), and their relationships and conversations with a range of key figures in American and European art and culture (including Duncan Phillips, Diego Rivera, D. H. Lawrence, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Marcel Duchamp).
