Georgia O'Keeffe (1887–1986) has been a leading figure in modern American art for nearly 70 years. Her work on abstract forms and expansive vision produced numerous series, including more than 12 variations of original images that focus on enlarged calla lilies and suzanas. By magnifying even the smallest leaves into proto‑abstract compositions of shape and line, she earned the nickname "Mother of American Modernism." In 1946, O'Keeffe made history as the first woman to hold a solo exhibition at New York's MoMA. This TASCHEN Basic Art 2.0 monograph highlights key photographs, contemporary images, and portraits taken by her husband Alfred Stieglitz, shedding light on O'Keeffe's long and luminous career. The book explores her groundbreaking innovations while inviting readers on her journeys inspired by the vivid flora of New Mexico, Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East, and exotic, colorful vegetation. Published by TASCHEN in July 2016, the English‑language edition is a hardcover volume of 96 pages, ISBN 9783836542319.
