Raves and Reviews
This new collection of photographs and essays rounds out a portrait of the artist in her nineties: firm, serene, and in control of her personal and artistic legacy.--Rachel Jagareski, Foreword Reviews
Varon's photographs show the traditional O'Keeffe, dressed in black or white, her wrinkled face solemn, facing away from the camera. They also portray a lesser-known side of the artist. There are rare photographs showing O'Keeffe smiling, and even some of her laughing with longtime companion Juan Hamilton.--Sandra Dallas, Denver Post

More often seen in black-and-white images, O'Keeffe comes to life in these intimate color photographs.--Kate Nelson, New Mexico Magazine
When Georgia O'Keeffe modeled for professional photographers, she dressed in black and white and favored poses that rendered her a serious and solitary human being. She would not smile, or show her teeth, and she often looked away from the camera. As she moved into her ninth decade, however, she dropped her guard for Malcolm Varon. She let him capture her in free flow, her eyes twinkling, her mouth smiling, her eyes looking into his lens. . . . Varon gives us an approachable O'Keeffe, a warm human being with a winning smile!--Wanda M. Corn, author of Georgia O'Keeffe: Living Modern
There are many books on O'Keeffe, but none that show the depth of the personal relationship she had with Malcolm Varon, who was the only photographer to be deemed qualified by O'Keeffe to produce color photographs of her work for over two decades.--Stuart Ashman, CEO of the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market
