Dedicated to Charles and Donna

Thank you for taking me to Santa Fe.

I decided to start anew,

to strip away what I had been taught.

-O’Keefe

h4={color:#000;}.

I have already settled it for myself

so flattery and criticism go down the same drain

and I am free.

-O’Keeefe

h4={color:#000;}.

To create one’s world in any of the arts

takes courage.

-O’Keefe

h4={color:#000;}.

I’ve been absolutely terrified

every moment of my life and

I’ve never let it keep me from

doing a single thing I wanted to do.

-O’Keefe

h4={color:#000;}.

I have things in my head

that are not like what

anyone else has taught me.

-O’Keefe

h4={color:#000;}.

I found I could say things

with color and shapes

that I couldn’t say

any other way.

-O’Keefe

h4={color:#000;}.

I often painted fragment of things because

it seemed to make my statement as well as

or better than the whole could.

-O’Keefe

h4={color:#000;}.

It’s not enough to be nice in life.

You’ve got to have nerve.

-O’Keefe

h4={color:#000;}.

Someone else’s vision

Will never be as good

As your own vision

Of yourself

-O’Keefe
