An unprecedented examination of the underexplored late work of the iconic American modernist   “Griffin’s study of O’Keeffe’s later works is a revelation opening new dimensions of this iconic American modernist as she grappled with age and creative evolution. . . . A must-read.”—Megan Fox Kelly Observer “Art Books Defining 2025”   Georgia O’Keeffe (1887–1986) has long been celebrated for her paintings photographs and contributions to American modernism in the 1930s and early 1940s yet her work from the end of World War II through the early 1980s has been largely neglected. In this groundbreaking study Randall C. Griffin focuses on the major pictorial series that O’Keeffe produced throughout her later career—mysterious abstract depictions of her house in Abiquiu New Mexico and its surrounding landscape voluptuous aerial representations of rivers skies and canyons in Arizona Buddhist-informed depictions of clouds and daring and enigmatic portrayals of the Washington Monument.   Drawing from previously overlooked photographs letters objects and paintings Griffin reveals how these works reflect O’Keeffe’s evolving artistic interests and ambitions while also engaging with contemporary issues such as race class gender indigeneity spirituality and ecology.   Firmly situating O’Keeffe within the larger cultural and political milieu this volume offers a new understanding of these visionary works and shows how they were informed by and enriched the American postwar artistic landscape.
