Georgia O'Keeffe mistrusted words. She claimed color as her language. Nevertheless, in the course of her long life, the great American painter wrote thousands of letters. Jennifer Sinor's Letters Like the Day honors O'Keeffe, her modernist landscapes, and, crucially, the value of letter writing. In the painter's correspondence, we find an intimacy with words that is all her own.

Taking O'Keeffe's letters as a touchstone, Sinor experiments with the limits of language using the same aesthetic that drove O'Keeffe's art.
