History Speaks Lecture Series: Georgia O’Keeffe: An American Master
Georgia O’Keeffe was one of the most popular American artists of the 20th century. O’Keefe painted, drew and sculpted an incredible array of subjects over her long career. She is likely the most famous artist associated with the Santa Fe region. Still misunderstood and misinterpreted even in the 21st century, her work was crucial to the history of modernism in America. In this program, art historian Jeff Mishur discusses a full range of Georgia O’Keefe’s art, from her daring and innovative abstractions of the 1910s and 1920s to her elegant investigations of subject matter, such as architecture, landscapes, and flowers. This History Speaks Lecture Series will take place March 11 from 4 to 5PM. Admission is $10 for adults and $9 for youth (4-12) and students. Admission for members is $8 for adults and $7 for youth.
