先锋艺术家乔治亚·奥基夫（Georgia O'Keeffe，1887-1986）因其标志性的花卉、摩天大楼、动物头骨和西南风景画而备受尊敬。然而，直到现在还没有专著对她的摄影作品深入探讨过。在丈夫摄影师阿尔弗雷德·斯蒂格利茨（Alfred Stieglitz）于1946年去世后，摄影确实成为奥基夫艺术创作的一个重要组成部分。她与摄影师托德·韦伯（Todd Webb）一起训练，重新审视她多年前画过的主题——西南地区的地貌，院子里的黑门，窗外的道路，以及鲜花。奥基夫精心构思的照片研究的不是细节或决定性时刻；相反，它们侧重于形式的安排。

这是对奥基夫摄影作品的首次重要研究，追溯了艺术家三十年来对摄影媒介的探索，包括她摄影作品的完整目录。由知名学者撰写的文章探讨了奥基夫的摄影方法和风格，并将摄影置于艺术家的整体实践中。这本图文并茂的书大大拓宽了我们对20世纪先锋艺术家乔治亚·奥基夫的理解。

The pathbreaking artist Georgia O’Keeffe (1887–

1986) is revered for her iconic paintings of flowers, skyscrapers, animal skulls, and Southwestern landscapes. Her photographic work, however, has not been explored in depth until now. After the death of her husband, the photographer Alfred Stieglitz, in 1946, photography indeed became an important part of O’Keeffe’s artistic production. She trained alongside the photographer Todd Webb, revisiting subjects that she had painted years before—landforms of the Southwest, the black door in her courtyard, the road outside her window, and flowers. O’Keeffe’s carefully composed photographs are not studies of detail or decisive moments; rather, they focus on the arrangement of forms.

This is the first major investigation of O’Keeffe’s photography and traces the artist’s thirty-

year exploration of the medium, including a complete catalogue of her photographic work. Essays by leading scholars address O’Keeffe’s photographic approach and style and situate photography within the artist’s overall practice. This richly illustrated volume significantly broadens our understanding of one of the most innovative artists of the twentieth century.
