Another Side to Georgia O'Keeffe

The Georgia O'Keeffe exhibit at the Whitney opened yesterday, and it may not be what you expect. The artist created some lesser known abstract works throughout her career, which have remained overlooked in favor of her landscapes and flowers. This exhibit, fittingly called "Abstraction" acknowledges those works. The exhibit includes 130 paintings, drawings, watercolors and sculptures, as well as photos of the artist by Alfred Stieglitz, whom she met in New York City and introduced her to many early American modernists.

"Abstraction" will run through January; more details here, and the NY Times has a review. Bonus: tomorrow night you can see Joan Allen portray the artist in a Lifetime movie.

Gang signs thrown by white chicks are so lame.

Is she touching her babylons in that picture?

she sure is. and i always thought of her as a vaginal person.

"as well as photos of the artist by Alfred Stieglitz, whom she met in New York City and introduced her to many early American modernists."

Stieglitz later left his wife for her and they were married. He was much older than her as well. scandal.
