From the Dust Jacket: "In this remarkable double portrait, based upon five years of exhaustive research and access to newly discovered documents, Benita Eisler has recreated this era of promise, as personified by two of its key figures. Almost twenty-four years his junior, [Georgia] O'Keeffe was the 'Eve' that [Alfred] Stieglitz sought in his quest for an authentic American idiom... Before her marriage, O'Keeffe was involved with Stieglitz's protégé, the photographer Paul Strand. Later, Stieglitz and O'Keeffe were both lovers of Strand's first wife, Rebecca. The hidden story of this complex quartet provides a subplot to the book... In addition, Eisler traces the relationships between the couple and Sherwood Anderson, Mabel Dodge Luhan, the Stettheimers, Edward Steichen, John Marin, Marsden Hartley, and other leading figures of the time.".
