Description
Very few major American artists have been as productive for as long and in so many mediums as Georgia O’Keeffe. O’Keeffe forged a unique path through the landscape of modern art for more than 70 years – almost until her death at the age of 98 in 1986. In fact, she is the only female artist in the world to have an entire museum dedicated to her work. This program will offer you a chronological in-depth look at the broad range of her art, during which you will learn about her fascinating life as well as the people who influenced her unique and distinctive style. The presentations will feature visuals of her artwork and that of her colleagues. You will have opportunities to comment and react to the slides.
