Georgia Totto O’Keeffe, an American modernist painter and draftswoman whose career spanned seven decades until her death in 1986 will be the topic of Arts National’s November 2 talk. O’Keeffe gained international recognition for her meticulous paintings of natural forms, particularly flowers and desert-inspired landscapes, which were often drawn from places and environments in which she lived, mainly in New Mexico.
The talk will be given by Deborah Jenner, American-born art historian and member of College Arts Association who has worked at the Ecole du Louvre and the Sorbonne.
“ I think Australians could find parallels with their own topography and O’Keeffe’s frontier themes”, says Deborah. ”Her approach to both landscape and abstract painting is both sublime and unique”.
