Flowers and Georgia O’Keeffe
No one really sees the flowers, writes the painter Georgia O’Keeffe. And for good reason: flowers are pretty, but not serious. They are part of the scenery. They are there for our enjoyment, adorning our gardens, our homes and our clothes. We see them every day, but without seeing them: without paying attention to who they are, without knowing what they are capable of. Because underneath their appearance of fragile and beautiful little things, flowers are something else: they are a hidden pillar of the world. It is this invisible side of flowers, this importance, that Georgia O’Keeffe’s eye captures and that her hand brings back to us on canvas in the form of an enigmatic and powerful hand-to-hand encounter. This book is the story of an alliance between flowers and a woman who, together, through the power of paint, extract themselves from the inoffensiveness to which they had been assigned.
