Art, Design, Theatre, Literature, History, Food, Laughter …
Georgia O’Keeffe [1887-1986] by Alfred Stieglitz
“I found that I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say in any other way — things that I had no words for.”
Blue and Green Music 1919-1920
“I have things in my head that are not like what anyone taught me — shapes and ideas so near to me, so natural to my way of being and thinking.”
Take care and keep laughing!

It informs one of the dregs of the country and helps to explain quaint British oddities such as the crack addicted chav.

Nice one, sarah! After many visits to Santa Fe I finally made it up the o’Keeffe museum and the ‘famous’ church she painted. Anne

I confess I feel the same, Adrienne. In fact, I prefer the photograph of her to the art I’ve included!

🙂 Is that an Alfred Steiglitz photo of her? It looks like it. They made some beautiful photography with her as his muse!

It is indeed. I knew I’d forgotten something and that was to add his name! Click through and you’ll get the Wikipedia page it’s on.

I always thought I loved their love story until I read that Alfred cheated on his first wife and left for O’Keefe, then cheated on her too. I don’t like those sorts of love stories after all.
