About This Event
Modern Times: “Georgia O’Keeffe in West Texas"
Sunday, November 15 | 2:30pm - 4:00pm
Doors at 2:00pm | Lecture at 2:30pm
Light refreshments available before the lecture.
About this Lecture:
This lecture will explore O’Keeffe as a thoroughly “modern” woman in the 1910s, who discovered herself—her independence, creativity, sexuality, and more—while living and working in West Texas. She was deeply inspired by the landscape and raw beauty of this region in the American West, and she began sending artwork that responded to Texas back to New York City, to her future husband Alfred Stieglitz who hung it in his respected 291 Gallery and made her an officially recognized American artist. Though O'Keeffe did not stay long in Texas, the state had an enduring impact on her life and career, arguably prompting her dramatic pivot from beloved educator to successful studio artist—the role we all know her in today.
