John Loengard wurde 1966 von Life in die Wüste von New Mexico geschickt für eine Reportage zum 80. Geburtstag von Georgia O'Keeffe, die seit 20 Jahren allein auf der
"Ghost Ranch" in Abiquiu lebte. Unser 2006 erschienener Band stellt Loengards schönste Photographien Gemälden von Georgia O'Keeffe gegenüber und macht deutlich, wie unmittelbar die Umgebung und das karge Alltagsleben der Künstlerin Eingang in ihre Malerei gefunden haben.
Klappentext:
In June 1966, photographer John Loengard was asked by Life magazine to photograph Georgia O'Keeffe in New Mexico, where she had been living since the late 1930s. Georgia O'Keeffe was 79 years old at the time, Loengard was 32, and for three days he observed and photographed the private life of this pioneer artist who virtually redefined American painting. For this unique book, we selected almost fifty of the finest black-and-white pictures Loengard took of the grand, solitary woman in the desert, and juxtaposed them with selected paintings of hers. They record the course of a day in the life of Georgia O'Keeffe from sunrise to sunset, developing their own quiet, mysterious effect. It becomes clear how much the austere poetry of the landscape corresponded to the artist's own self-created world and how her artistic imagination was kindled by bleached bones and an infinite desert.
