...90th year; many have not been reproduced before. The wonder is that despite their stark eloquence, they are almost upstaged by the text-also by O'Keeffe. She describes her surroundings in Abiquiu, N. Mex., recalls the '20s when D.H. Lawrence was underfoot. Her voice is laconic, styleless, arrow straight to the point. About one of her pictures of bleached pelvic bones, she notes: "I was the sort of child that ate around the raisin on the cookie and ate around the hole in the doughnut.

...this earthy naturalism of Potter Poor's work, timeless and styleless as so many lustrous beach pebbles, which constitutes its solid, enduring value and which has quietly made its creator his reputation. Acceptance by the Metropolitan Museum, profuse with classic pottery, has dignified a career as unceremonious and sincere as that of a medieval illuminator...
