"O'Keefe did not give permission/approval for this book to be published; it was only after the death of both the author and O'Keefe that it did see the light of day. This is a romanticzed view of Georgia O'Keefe and her career, repeating the "Finally, a woman on paper" remark allegedly made by Alfred Stieglitz - though there isn't any evidence to believe he ever said it. The low points of O'Keefe's career are glossed over or entirely ignored. In short, this is a light read for someone only casually interested in the subject."
"The book is an example of why biographies should not be written by friends. There is so little actual biographical material here that one wonders if the information has been sanitized, or if O'Keeffe's life could have been so very dull.
The letters exchanged between the friends are interesting, too bad there weren't more included. I am still curious about O'Keeffe, and will seek out a better biography."
