review 1: A quick, fun way to learn more about Georgia. Karbo has a good time relating Georgia's activities to her own life and to that of a modern woman. The book left me with an incredible respect for the way O'Keeffe chose to live while leaving me with a tender feeling for her vulnerabilities. Karbo skips over the dry parts of Georgia's life and focuses on the juicy bits. Not exactly a reference book on O'Keeffe, but a lively read.
review 2: Though this biography certainly peaked my interest in Georgia O'Keeffe's life and art, I found it to be frustratingly shallow. I would have liked for O'Keeffe's own voice be "heard" more. Also, the writer's inclusion of parts from her own life experience annoyed me to no end! Get over yourself, I am not interested in your life... more, and it did not add one yota to the story at hand.Still, as an introduction, this book will do, and I will definitely read more about Georgia O'Keeffe, a fascinating artist who lived to be almost 100 years and, it would appear, refused to follow the seemingly easy paths in life, whether it came to her art or her personal life."Go work!"(Georgia O'Keeffe's standard reply to women who asked about how to become an artist. I take this to heart...) less
