English Summary/英文概要： A fresh, revealing look at the artist who continues to inspire new generations of women
Most people associate Georgia O’Keeffe with New Mexico, painted cow skulls, and her “vagina” flower paintings. She was revered for so long—born in 1887, died at age ninety-eight in 1986—that we forget how young, restless, passionate, searching, striking, even fearful she once was—a dazzling, mysterious female force in bohemian New York City during its heyday.
In this distinctive book, Karen Karbo cracks open the O’Keeffe icon in her characteristic style, making one of the greatest women painters in American history vital and relevant for yet another generation. She chronicles O’Keeffe’s early life, her desire to be an artist, and the key moment when art became her form of self-expression. She also explores O’Keeffe’s passionate love affair with master photographer Alfred Stieglitz, who took a series of 500 black-and-white photographs of O’Keeffe during the early years of their marriage.
How Georgia Became O’Keeffe: Lessons on the Art of Living delves into the long, extraordinary life of the renowned American painter, exploring a range of universal themes—from how to discover and nurture your individuality to what it means to be in a committed relationship while maintaining your independence, from finding your own style to developing the ability to take risks. Each chapter is built around an aspect of living that concerns women today of all ages: how to find your own path; work with passion and conviction; express yourself; be in a relationship without sacrificing your sense of self; and do it all with an effortless, unique style.
As with Karbo’s previous books, How Georgia Became O’Keeffe: Lessons on the Art of Living is not a tradition biography, but rather a compelling, contemporary reassessment of the life of O’Keeffe with an eye toward understanding what we can learn from her way of being in the world.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一位以其自身魅力激励着无数女性的艺术家，正式本作品以独具视角和直吉灵魂的笔触而浓墨重彩所有探究的人物。 提起乔治亚.欧姬芙，人们无不联想到新墨西哥，牛颅骨彩绘以及富于特色的花朵微观作品。整个有生之年，从1887年出生到1986年98岁高龄时去世，乔治亚一直备受尊崇，以至于我们几乎遗忘了她也曾经年轻、急躁、多情，也曾探索寻觅，甚至也会感觉到恐惧害怕。当放荡不羁的风潮盛行于纽约之际，她曾代表着一种无法磨灭的、神秘的女性力量而烙在时代的记忆里。
在此部极具匠心的作品中，卡伦.嘉宝将这位美国历史上最伟大的女艺术大师之一欧姬芙作为一个偶像显著的独特性呈现在我们面前，并使之成为如此贴近新时代，同时又如此至关重要的一个形象。作者叙述了欧姬芙的早年生活以及她想成为一个艺术家的渴望，还有当艺术成为她自我表达形式的那一个关键时刻，也都记入此书，另外，本书还探究可欧姬芙与摄影大师阿尔弗雷德•史蒂格利兹饱含热情的爱恋，在他们结婚的最初几年，阿尔弗雷德曾为欧姬芙拍下一个系列500张的黑白照片。
《乔治亚如何成为欧姬芙之生活艺术》探索了这位美国极富声望的油画家漫长而非凡的一生以及一系列被普遍讨论的主题--从如何发现和培养你的独特性，到在一种承诺关系中坚持独立自主将意味着什么；从发现属于你自己的风格到磨练自己敢于承担风险的能力。每一章都围绕着当今每个年龄段的女性的一个生活侧面展开：如何找到适合自己的道路；带着激情于笃定工作；表达你自己；融入集体生活但不以牺牲自己的感觉为前提；保持轻松、独特的风格。
像嘉宝之前其他的作品一样，《乔治亚如何成为欧姬芙之生活艺术》并不是一部传统意义上的传记，而是一次极为有趣的对欧姬芙的生活在当时代的重新审视和评估，并带着一双猎寻的双眼去观察从这个伟大的艺术生命中，我们究竟能学到些什么。(兼职翻译FSF)
