...tantalizingly off pitch for a number of bars, or of interjecting a caressing wobble, or of suddenly, with a crack of her high-heeled foot, breaking and reshaping the beat. The image goes with the voice: in her nightclub appearances she frequently appears in a skintight, flesh-colored satin skirt and turquoise sweater with matching eyelids, and bumps and swivels her way through a repertory that is by turns sexy, solicitous, folksy and dramatic.

Much the same might be said of Georgia O'Keeffe's painting. But if she has not fundamentally changed in her 72 years, the most eminent of U.S. women painters has continued to grow in technical mastery and emotional depth. Last week, at the Worcester (Mass.)
