Book Description
An innocent raised in a house of sin... Lily is the product of a doomed romance between Neal Kale, a dashing aristocrat, and Zara, a beautiful high-class prostitute. Against all odds, Zara manages to shelter her daughter from the depravity of her life, accepting brutalization from her pimp in order to do so. She is diagnosed with a terminal disease when Lily is still a teenager. Knowing her innocent daughter will not survive long in the violent world of her birth, Zara entreats her to flee to her father’s family. Initially unwelcome at the Kale estate, Lily must learn to navigate the complexities of sophisticated society. Unsure of whether she is a mistress or a servant, she is wooed by a groom who works in the stables and also attracts the attention of an arrogant cavalry officer. She’s dogged by Zara’s old pimp and madam, who wish to drag her back into her mother’s debauched profession. At the same time, she faces contempt and ridicule in the glittering circle of her father’s family. Torn between a world she seeks to escape and one that will not accept her, Lily must decide whether to settle for safety or risk everything to follow her heart.

Georgia O’Keeffe and artworks
Author: Janet Souter
Publisher: Parkstone International
ISBN: 1781608598
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
In 1905 Georgia travelled to Chicago to study painting at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1907 she enrolled at the Art Students’ League in New York City, where she studied with William Merritt Chase. During her time in New York she became familiar with the 291 Gallery owned by her future husband, photographer Alfred Stieglitz. In 1912, she and her sisters studied at university with Alon Bement, who employed a somewhat revolutionary method in art instruction originally conceived by Arthur Wesley Dow. In Bement’s class, the students did not mechanically copy nature, but instead were taught the principles of design using geometric shapes. They worked at exercises that included dividing a square, working within a circle and placing a rectangle around a drawing, then organising the composition by rearranging, adding or eliminating elements. It sounded dull and to most students it was. But Georgia found that these studies gave art its structure and helped her understand the basics of abstraction. During the 1920s O’Keeffe also produced a huge number of landscapes and botanical studies during annual trips to Lake George. With Stieglitz’s connections in the arts community of New York – from 1923 he organised an O’Keeffe exhibition annually – O’Keeffe’s work received a great deal of attention and commanded high prices. She, however, resented the sexual connotations people attached to her paintings, especially during the 1920s when Freudian theories became a form of what today might be termed “pop psychology”. The legacy she left behind is a unique vision that translates the complexity of nature into simple shapes for us to explore and make our own discoveries. She taught us there is poetry in nature and beauty in geometry. Georgia O’Keeffe’s long lifetime of work shows us new ways to see the world, from her eyes to ours.
