Learn How Artist Georgia O’Keeffe Created her Public Image at Lecture at CMA

Sun 2/3 @ 2PM

What’s unusual about the exhibit Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern, on view at the Cleveland Museum of Art through Sun 3/3, is that it doesn’t mainly focus on her well-known striking paintings of flowers and skulls and other landscape elements, inspired by her residence in New Mexico. Rather, it looks at how she shaped her own image, in the clothes she wore, how she presented herself and how she worked with photographers (Some of her paintings are on view as well).

In the lecture “Dressing for the Photographer: Georgia O’Keeffe and Her Clothes,” art historian, Stanford professor and Living Modern guest curator Wanda M. Corn will talk about the relationship between her image and how it interacted with her work to create what we today might call her “brand.”

The talk is free; registration is required. Go here.
