A very interesting stallion in a colorful field - maybe a pintaloosa?So did you get to see the Georgia O'Keeffe documentary on the Lifetime channel? What are your reactions? Mona Majorowicz had mentioned it in her blog, Fur In the Paint. I got to see it last night. I wish they had shown more of her paintings when they were showing her life in New Mexico. Otherwise, I loved getting to see a film about an artist. It drives home the dedication that a true artist has for her for work. She was such a free spirit. I greatly admire how she remained true to her self in her art and in her life. She really did pave a way for women to be more recognized in Fine Art.
I did look at a lot of her work and read about her in the 70's and 80's. Spent this morning earlier looking at information about her on the net. I like the Wikpedia write-up. And here is a less than flattering review of the film, I don't agree with it all, but it does give a little more detail about some facts of her life and I think it is from an unsual blog. I may visit this blog again for a little more reading about other women.
So if you have any remarks about the film or about your feelings about O'Keeffe's art and life, I would love to hear them in a comment here.
The links were interesting. I also posted briefly on the O'Keeffe movie and linked to this post.
ReplyDeleteThe inaccuracies are annoying but it's nice to see a movie about the life of an artist. Especially one who's work I admire.
