I spend a lot of time leafing through and reading bits of books about art and artists, but don't tend to get through many from start to finish; this one was an exception, aided by the straightforwardness and brevity of the text (which I found a bit unsatisfying for those same reasons, but catch 22 I guess) and how much I love O'Keeffe (since to a very large extent, I respond to her paintings in themselves and without needing any particular context for them).
