A Partnership between the Northville Art House and Northville District Library.

Do you love to read? Would you like to learn more about famous artists and art historical movements? 

Join the Northville Art House and the Northville District Library at the Northville Art House for an art-inspired book club. Meeting bi-monthly, this book club will focus on fiction inspired by art history’s most famous (and infamous) figures. Participants will see the story come to life through presentations, and possibly art-making activities, inspired by each month’s selection.

The “From Page to Palette Book Club” will meet on the 4th Wednesday of January, March, May, July, September, and November. Unless otherwise noted, all meetings will take place at the Northville Art House, across the street from the Library, from 6:30 - 7:30 pm. The next month’s book will be available for checkout by the date of each meeting. You must have a valid library card to check out a book.

March's book selection: Georgia by Dawn Tripp

Taken from Tripp's website:

In a dazzling work of historical fiction in the vein of Nancy Horan’s Loving Frank, Dawn Tripp brings to life Georgia O’Keeffe, her love affair with photographer Alfred Stieglitz, and her quest to become an independent artist.

This is not a love story. If it were, we would have the same story. But he has his, and I have mine.

In 1916, Georgia O’Keeffe is a young, unknown art teacher when she travels to New York to meet Stieglitz, the famed photographer and art dealer, who has discovered O’Keeffe’s work and exhibits it in his gallery. Their connection is instantaneous. O’Keeffe is quickly drawn into Stieglitz’s sophisticated world, becoming his mistress, protégé, and muse, as their attraction deepens into an intense and tempestuous relationship and his photographs of her, both clothed and nude, create a sensation.

Yet as her own creative force develops, Georgia begins to push back against what critics and others are saying about her and her art. And soon she must make difficult choices to live a life she believes in.

A breathtaking work of the imagination, Georgia is the story of a passionate young woman, her search for love and artistic freedom, the sacrifices she will face, and the bold vision that will make her a legend.
