Georgia O'Keeffe's artwork reflects her deep emotional experiences, yet her private life remains shrouded in mystery. The book explores the inspirations behind her provocative flower paintings and delves into her complex relationship with her much older husband, photographer Alfred Stieglitz. It also examines her tendency to obscure her past and maintain a distance from the public eye, raising questions about the interplay between her art and personal identity.
"If African American experience emerges from the structure of slavery, how does architecture relate to that experience? African Americans have claimed space in unexpected locations – often in opposition to architecture as a Eurocentric discipline that has served to regulate and exclude them. In Search of African American Space examines both historical record and personal and collective memory to uncover these instances. African American space can be creative and aspirational, taking the form of speech and performance that reflects its fleeting nature. This anthology of essays from contemporary architects, historians and artists presents a broad range of knowledge and practices that evoke consciousness of this form of space making in the afterlife of slavery."--
