...statement was only partially true. Lean, sober-faced Georgia O'Keeffe is far better known to the general public than most of the other artists under the protective wing of her dealer husband, but to Miss O'Keeffe's embarrassment, every time a showing of her paintings is held, it attracts half the amateur theosophists, swamis, faith healers and founders of new cults in Manhattan, anxious to read hidden meanings into her brilliantly colored, smoothly painted studies of skulls, feathers, roses, bones, morning glories and strange black crosses.
