O`Keeffe - Inglês

Born in 1887, Georgia OKeeffe was one of the key figures who participated in the emancipation of modern art from its American essence. At a time when women were above all wives and mothers, Georgia OKeeffe defied conventions when she became first the companion and finally the wife of the famous photographer and father of American modern art: Alfred Stieglitz. Georgia OKeeff­­­e is known above all for her complex descriptions of nature: the delicacy of an autumn leaf, the subtle nuances of a flower petal, or the symmetry of an animals head. Today we associate Georgia OKeeffe with bright colours and the austere beauty of the New Mexican desert, where she lived right up to her death at the age of 98.This work explores the personal journey of Georgia OKeeffe, her process of creation and the legacy that she has left the art world. It not only explores the experiences that shaped Georgia OKeeffe at the beginning of her life, but it also invites the reader to look at her later years, when she was just as vibrant and prolific an artist as in her youth.
