A gorgeous, evocative biography of one of America's most beloved artists.

Georgia O'Keeffe saw the world differently from most people. As a child she roamed the prairie with a sketch pad in her hand, struggling to capture on paper what she saw all around her. At art school she learned to speak in paint on canvas.

But Georgia felt confined by city life. She longed for vast expanses of space, and she found it in the red hills and silent deserts of New Mexico.

Lyrical and vivid, this is a portrait of an exceptional artist, a woman whose eyes were open to the wideness and wonder of the world.

Through Georgia's Eyes is a 2007 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

  • Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings have always captivated me. As a college student, I had a poster print of one of her paintings---a sinuous sandstone fissure---pressed on to a cheap foamboard backing, and toted it around from dormitory room to apartment to apartment until it was gouged and beaten up. Something about O'Keeffe's color palette, and her eye for natural lines of beauty, provoked within me a stillness even in unstill times.

    Somehow Rachel Rodriguez and Julie Paschkis have succeeded in conveying the contemplative beauty at the heart of Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings and life. The prose is spare and reflective, mimicking the cadences of the natural world: "A canyon calls her. From the bottom at dusk she sees a long line of cows above, black lace against a dusky sky." The illustrations, cut-paper collages, mate the vibrant intensity of O'Keeffe's artistic vision with the simplicity and wonder of a child's.

    The first time I visited New Mexico and marveled at the quality of the light at daybreak and sunset, I couldn't help but wonder whether Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings had perfectly captured colors that are indescribable, or her paintings had so colored my perception that I saw the world through her eyes. This book brought a slice of that warm southwestern sunshine into my gray northwestern spring.

    I highly recommend "Through Georgia's Eyes." It is simply enchanting.

  • Loved this book and used it with my art students grades K-3. Beautiful pictures and they really loved the story of Georgia's life. I complimented it with a book of actual photographs of her flower paintings and the students did a great job making flowers in the style of Georgia. Highly recommended.... :)

  • Great book for teaching Georgia to elementary kids-
    My favorite, though, is Georgia's Bones!

  • I ordered this book for a stud of Georgia O'Keefe with preschoolers. It was perfect! Just the right balance of information and the class enjoyed it. I'd recommend purchasing it.

  • Sent as gifts but the book is a good one & the illustrations are beautiful

  • My daughter loved this book. The illustrations are fantastic and the story is easily understandable for a 5 year old.

  • much better intro book for art lessons

  • sweet story, retold for children - about the life of Georgia O'Keefe. I gave it to my teacher daughter in law, to use in her classroom - for use with artists or famous women!
