Provides an in-depth exploration of the still-life paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe.

"More than fifty of Gustave Caillebotte's (1848-1894) strongest paintings illustrate the fertile period from 1875 to 1885 when he was most closely allied with the impressionists. Accompanying the National Gallery of Art's major new exhibition, coorganized with the Kimbell Art Museum, this volume explores the inquisitive, experimental, almost fearless vision that inspired his masterworks"--.

By restricting herself to nonrepresentational forms, earth-based colors, and "found" pieces of paper, Frecon achieves balance and openness in her work. The book features oil paintings and watercolors dating from the late 1990s to 2007. Included is an essay revealing the "ethics" of her aesthetics - an argument for abstraction and an attention to truth that is not divorced from social and environmental concerns.--Dust jacket.
