Description
This book presents the life of the twentieth-century American painter who drew much of her artistic inspiration from nature.
Quick Summary
Georgia O'Keeffe stared at flowers until they became massive works of art, painted bones found in the desert, and lived alone in ghost towns where jackals howled outside her door, making her one of the most unconventional artists in American history. Kids will love discovering how this rebellious woman ditched city life for the stark New Mexico landscape, creating iconic paintings that made her the first female artist to have a solo exhibition at a major museum. If your kid loves inspiring stories about creative trailblazers who followed their own path, they'll be totally drawn to this book. Perfect for curious readers in grades 4-6 who are fascinated by art, nature, or anyone who dared to be different.
