Tripp expertly makes drama of two traditional themes in the O'Keeffe story--the romance with Stieglitz and the development of her art--but it's the track about her art and his management of it and her struggle not to be dominated by him that makes her novel compelling. . . . Tripp writes in much the same way as O'Keeffe painted: in vivid color and subtle shade." -- The Huffington Post "Masterful . . . The book is a lovely portrayal of an iconic artist who is independent and multidimensional. Tripp's O'Keeffe is a woman hoping to break free of conventional definitions of art, life and gender, as well as a woman of deep passion and love." --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "O'Keeffe blazes across the pages in Tripp's tour de force about this indomitable woman, whose life was both supported and stymied by the love of her life, photographer and art promoter Alfred Stieglitz. . . .
