Description
BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY : Although it appears that Tad did not leave a written account of this particular trip with O'Keeffe , there are other sources that document her fascination with Glen Canyon . In Frank Wright's autobiography he reveals that Georgia O'Keeffe took several trips with him-- both motoring and rowing on the Colorado River through Glen , as well as house-boating on the rising waters of Lake Powell . She would paint , take lots of photographs , and collect natural objects along the way . He writes that 'Although she was in her 80's she didn't request any special consideration. ' Her only request of him was to refrain from watching her as she worked . Photographer Todd Webb also remembers O'Keeffe in Glen Canyon in his memoirs , particularly a trip in August of 1961 that also included photographer , Eliot Porter .
