O'Keeffe's simplicity will keep the young spellbound June 5, 2000
Kathryn R. Ziemnik (OH)
22 out of 23 found this review helpful
Georgia often rearranged the natural things she saw, and simplified them, p. 8 pThe young reader will learn about O'Keeffe's young years on her family's big Wisconsin farm, her years in Texas teaching art and during her free moments painting, her years with Stieglitz in New York painting, and her years in New Mexico painting.pO'Keeffe's choice of enlarging objects in her paintings makes this a perfect choice for young children. Everything is larger than life for the young. If there is anyone who will have nearly an innate appreciation for O'Keeffe's style it will be the young. They will readily identify her objects. Her color choices in her paintings are few and therefore not busy and distracting. The young reader will be drawn in by her bold and bright selection of colors. pVenezia's illustrations are humorous. His narrative is delightfully entertaining. His approach brings the artist within reach of the young. His re-enactment of an opening at Stieglitz's gallery of new artists' paintings is precious. pThe size of the book is perfect for smaller hands. It enables the young to have art within their grasp. Venezia gives the locations of the paintings and as result if the child lives near one of the museums or will be near one on vacation, she/he would be able to see the original. pThis is the 15th in Venezia's Getting to know the World's Greatest Artist series. He also has similar series on composers. Venezia's back cover illustrations tie back to the subject. Like O'Keeffe, Mike searches near his home for objects in their natural surroundings .... pThe price of the book is well worth paying. The book contains the following: O'Keeffe's Paintings - 18, Photos of O'Keeffe - 3, Venezia's Illustrations - 8, Others' paintings - 3.
