Georgia O’Keeffe: The New Mexico Years - Art History Livestream, Part 3

Georgia O’Keeffe & The American Experience - Four Part Art History Livestream Series - Hosted by Robert Kelleman

You’re invited to join the third segment of our four part series on Georgia O’Keeffe, featuring her beautiful, iconic, and spectacular New Mexico paintings. Although she lived in many places throughout the U.S., including Wisconsin, Virginia, Chicago, Texas, and New York City, New Mexico is the place most closely associated with Georgia O’Keeffe, where she lived for 57 years (1929-1986), and where she created many of her most important paintings.

During and after the program you’ll have the opportunity to discuss the art with your fellow participants via Zoom.

If you missed the first two segments of our four-part series: The Early / New Years: 1918-1949 and Flowers & Abstractions, or if you want to watch them again, the YouTube recording links are provided below. If you would like a preview of the New Mexico Years program there’s also a YouTube slideshow preview of that via the link below.
This series is part of our “American Experience” programs, where we feature art and art history within the larger context of American history and culture, including such topics as architecture, fashion, film, music, photography, television, and pop culture.

***

Georgia Totto O'Keeffe (November 15, 1887 - March 6, 1986) was an American modernist artist. She was known for her paintings of enlarged flowers, New York skyscrapers, and New Mexico landscapes. O'Keeffe has been called the "Mother of American modernism".
In 1905, O'Keeffe began art training at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and then the Art Students League of New York. Between 1912 and 1914 she was introduced to the principles and philosophies of Arthur Wesley Dow, who created works of art based upon personal style, design, and interpretation of subjects, rather than trying to copy or represent them. This caused a major change in the way she felt about and approached art. Alfred Stieglitz, an art dealer and photographer, held an exhibit of her works in 1917.
She moved to New York in 1918 at Stieglitz's request and began working seriously as an artist. They developed a professional and personal relationship that led to their marriage in 1924. O'Keeffe created many forms of abstract art, including close-ups of flowers.
O'Keeffe and Stieglitz lived together in New York until 1929, when O'Keeffe began spending part of the year in the Southwest, which served as inspiration for her paintings of New Mexico landscapes and images of animal skulls. After Stieglitz's death, she lived in New Mexico at Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio in Abiquiú until the last years of her life, when she lived in Santa Fe. In 2014, O'Keeffe's 1932 painting Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 sold for $44,405,000, more than three times the previous world auction record for any female artist. After her death, the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum was established in Santa Fe.
