Summary: fine book, horrid photographs
Review: This is a most interesting treatment of O'Keefe, Modernism, gender, and place. I began the book with misgivings -- I don't always like Dijkstra -- but this is useful, interesting, and a pleasure to read. One caveat -- like many books written about art by non-art historians, the reproductions are scandalously bad. I had to check out two (2) books from the library to make sense of the paintings. This is undoubtedly not Dijkstra's fault, but the fault of the Press. The only decent reproduction (the only one in color) is on the DUSTJACKET! Oh, well, what can we say.
