      abstract = {Although Georgia O'Keefe (1887-1986) has long been  celebrated as a central figure in twentieth-century art,  the abstract works she created throughout her career have  remained overlooked by critics and the public in favor of  her representational subjects. In 1915, O'Keeffe leaped  into abstraction with a group of charcoal drawings that  were among the most radical works of art produced in the  United States at that time. In these and subsequent  abstractions, O'Keeffe sought to transcribe her ineffable  thoughts and emotions. While her output of abstract work  declined after 1930, she returned to abstraction in the  mid-1940s with a new vocabulary that provided a precedent  for a younger generation of abstractionists. By devoting  itself to this largely unexplored area of her work, Georgia  O'Keeffe: Abstraction is an overdue acknowledgment of her  place as one of America's first abstract artists. In  addition to rethinking O'Keefe's contribution to the  development of abstract American art, this book chronicles  the shifts and changes in subject matter and style over the  span of her long career. It adds significant new insight  into her work and life, reproducing excerpts of previously  sealed letters written by O'Keeffe to photographer and  gallerist Alfred Stieglitz, whom she married in 1924. These  previously unpublished letters, along with other primary  documents referenced by the authors, offer an intimate  glimpse into her creative method and intentions as an  artist.},
