Georgia O’Keeffe exhibition to debut at the Brooklyn Museum
A New Look at the Iconic American Artist’s Life and Works
“Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern” will be on view at the Brooklyn Museum, 200 Eastern Parkway, from March 3 to July 23. It will be the first exhibition to examine the renowned artist’s self-crafted persona. The exhibit offers a new look at the iconic American artist’s powerful ownership of her identity as an artist and a woman. The public will see how O’Keeffe crafted herself through her art, her dress and her progressive and independent lifestyle.
O’Keeffe, born in 1887 in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, is one of the most well-known American painters and considered by some to be the foremother of the feminist art movement. She worked in a discipline dominated by male artists, critics, gallery owners and curators who were critical of female artists. She launched a successful career, developing a unique painting style. Her life experiences influenced her art, as did her living in New York and New Mexico.
