Called the “Southwest’s Matron Saint of the Brush,” O’Keeffe devoted her life and her art to “distilling in form and color the essence of the world she saw.” Her signature style was “abstracting from nature,” monumentalizing “something small in the interest of surprising viewers into taking time to look at it.” Alfred Steiglitz, her mentor, impresario, and eventual husband, recognized that she was doing something never been done in American art before. Upon seeing her charcoal “Specials” for the first time, he proclaimed, “Finally a woman on paper!” This 90 minute program will survey the life and works of an American master, from early life in Wisconsin through her formative years in New Mexico, and her prevailing legacy as one of the most significant artists of the 20th century.
