[close] “…this is where life dwells---in the unregistered time between moments when you are filled with no thought, no awareness, just a garden, ancient sunlight…” Dawn Tripp writes eloquently, poetically of the artist Georgia O’Keeffe’s life with Alfred Stieglitz. Stieglitz became Georgia’s agent, mentor, lover and eventually husband. He was 23 years Georgia’s senior and helped to establish her as an artist of some renown. Stieglitz called their relationship a “mixing of souls. But then again, he called it a love story. And it was far more—and less—than that.” It was a complicated relationship that was fraught with stress and anxiety. Stieglitz, in Georgia’s words, was “impossible, manipulative, demanding, self-absorbed”…but he represented a” relentless faith in art” and most importantly in Georgia’s talent. Unputdownable and Highly recommended. Warning: Explicit sex.
