An edition of this book appears to still be in publication. Mine was printed in 1978. According to O'Keefe, she first wandered into the gallery "291" in 1908. Over the years a rapport blossomed with the proprietor, Mr. Steiglitz until, in 1917, he made his first photograph of her. Stieglitz's idea of a "portrait" was not that it should be a single image, but a study over a long period of time showing multiple aspects of his subject. This is a book of fifty photographs made between 1917 and 1933 chosen by Georgia O'Keefe for a showing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.. This collection shows the evolution of Stieglitz's photographic style and is a study of the decades-long relationship between Stieglitz and O'Keefe, two great artistic talents.
