Synopsis
Ansel Adams and Georgia O'Keeffe first met in Taos, New Mexico, in 1929. She was already an established artist, while he was at the beginning of his career, and their friendship lasted for the rest of their lives.
GEORGIA O'KEEFE AND ANSEL ADAMS: NATURAL AFFINITIES suggests parallels in their distinctive visions of both natural and human-made environments and illustrates the artists' achievements in capturing the reality and essence of the world around them. More than 100 beautifully reproduced paintings and photographs are accompanied by critical essays on Adams and O'Keeffe and a biographical essay on the friendship between Adams, O'Keeffe, and Alfred Stieglitz.

May 17, 2009: I missed the exhibition in Santa Fe by a day. I was very happy to see the book appear last fall. My biggest disappointment is that there is no real comparison of the 2 artists' treatment of the same subjects. Parallels are drawn, but I believe that there could be more concrete examples of the products.
It is, however, my understanding that the art exhibit was presented in this style, so I do believe that it is representative of the collection as it appeard.I Also Recommend: Miss O'Keeffe.

September 12, 2008: Georgia O?Keeffe and Ansel Adams? combined artistry make this book a one of a kind. O?Keeffe and Adams are well-known American icons in the art world. O?Keeffe and Adams work compliments each other. I am a long way from an art critic or expert. I only know what I like, and I like this creation. The colors of O?Keefe?s work is clean, bold, and brilliant. The lines project perceptions as well as characteristics. ?Black Hills with Cedar? is almost impressionistic. I see the hands of the earth holding the bouquet within its palm. The colors used in ?Stump in Red Hills? remind me of the beauty of the west. One lone tree stump stands, too stubborn to not leave its mark. Adams work is black and white photograph. At times the photographs appear to be stark and yet living. ?Cedar Tree, winter, Yosemite Valley, California? captures more than a tree with snow on the branches. It captures the height and depth. It captures one standing out in the midst of others. ?Moonrise,, Hernandez, New Mexico? has such depth. It is almost as though one could reach up and grasp the moon and play marbles with it. I cannot give adequate description of these beautiful works of art. This is a book that will be cherished by its owner.
