Summary
In 1916, Georgia O’Keeffe wrote to Alfred Stieglitz that she had “made [a] drawing several times - never remembering that I had made it before - and not knowing where the idea came from.” These drawings, and the majority of O’Keeffe’s works in charcoal, watercolor, pastel, and graphite, belong to series, in which she develops and transforms motifs that lie between observation and abstraction.

Critics Review
Included in Publisher Weekly’s Spring 2023 Announcements: Art, Architecture & Photography
Combining careful analysis, quotes from O’Keeffe, and lush renderings, Friedman arrives at an engrossing and visually arresting synthesis of the artist’s stylistic evolution. Art connoisseurs will treasure this.– “Publishers Weekly”
In emphasizing an early, scrappy chapter, before she found success, the exhibition recasts her as a methodical as well as an intuitive searcher, attuned to the work of her avant-garde contemporaries, constantly renegotiating the balance of abstraction and representation in her strange, radical art.–Johanna Fateman “4Columns”

These are sides of O’Keeffe we rarely see.–Lance Esplund “Wall Street Journal”
