Try as she might, Anna cannot convey the magic and charm she perceives in Leo. To the nonsmitten observer, he seems to be little more than a foul-mouthed idler and sponge, an unmitigated egotist who is capable of remarking, when Anna tells him that their lovemaking has resulted in pregnancy, "I'm just not anxious...

She made indelible images of the city, such as her views of and from the Shelton Hotel in New York City in the '20s, which convey the hard-edged, Promethean power of Manhattan. O'Keeffe spent part of every year in New York City until 1949, but the landscape she made most completely her own, through more than 50 years of scrutiny and reverie, was that of New Mexico.
