Cleveland Museum of Art: Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern Exhibit
Friday, December 7, 2018, 7:15 a.m.-- 9:00 p.m.
 

Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern offers a unique look into the fascinating connections between the paintings, personal style, and public persona of one of America’s most iconic artists.
 
The exhibition is organized in sections that run the gamut from her early years, when O’Keeffe crafted a signature style of clothing that dispensed with ornamentation; to her blossoming career in New York during the 1920s and 1930s, when a black-and-white palette dominated much of her art and dress; and to her mature years in New Mexico where her art and clothing changed in response to the surrounding colors of the American southwest. The final section explores the significant role photography played in establishing O’Keeffe’s celebrity, when younger generations of artists visited her, solidifying her status as a pioneer of modernism and as a contemporary style icon.
 
In the afternoon, you will also have the opportunity for an hour tour of Medieval and Renaissance Ancient Art with Dr. David Brumble, emeritus professor of English at the University of Pittsburgh, who has written widely on Medieval and Renaissance art and literature.
