"Portrait of an Artist is a superb piece of work in every
respect...Not only does it document the full scope to date of this
remarkable 20th-century life, but it does so directly, simply, and
objectively. Clearly journalist Lisle has scooped the art world
with an impressive literary debut." --Smithsonian "Portrait of an
Artist is a sensitive and beautifully documented biography. It
moved me deeply--I can't remember when a book involved me so
totally." --Patricia Bosworth, author, Diane Arbus: A Biography
"What a personality emerges from these pages!...Portrait of an
Artist is filled with riches."--Joyce Carol Oates, Mademoiselle
"Portrait of an Artist is in many ways a remarkably informative
book. Lisle has created a vivid and sensitive portrait of O'Keeffe
as an artist and woman...Above and beyond the personal portrait,
Lisle's biography is a marvelous evocation of the American places
that have been important in the development of O'Keeffe's character
and her art." --James R. Mellow, The Saturday Review "Laurie Lisle
has given us a mortal Georgia O'Keeffe, whose human hunger and
frailties, gifts and strengths, enabled her to
survive--triumphantly--a conflicted life. Many readers will draw
encouragement and even inspiration from this portrait." --Eleanor
Munro, author, Originals: American Women Artists "Readers will
welcome what Lisle has found. The woman who emerges has
extraordinary personal stature, artistic gifts, commitment to her
vision." --Chicago Tribune
