I love coming across an O’Keeffe that I’ve never seen before. Read a little about it at Eye Level, by the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

While you’re at it, check out the ‘Georgia O’Keeffe and Ansel Adams: Natural Affinities’ exhibit currently going on  at the Smithsonian American Art Museum until January 4, 2009. Can’t make it to NY, download the podcast.

Georgia Website

Through my postings over on Twitter, I came across a fellow Georgia Junkie! Her name is Nina Kuriloff and she’s an artist herself. I’m sure Georgia would be impressed! Visit Nina’s site here.

Georgia O’Keeffe and the Camera

Much of the insight we have to Georgia O’Keeffe comes from the many photos taken of her throughout her lifetime. These weren’t just your standard snapshots! Georgia was photographed by some of the biggest names in photography: Ansel Adams, Alfred Steiglitz, Eliot Porter, Todd Webb and Arnold Newman. The Portland Museum of Art has an exhibit going on right now that explores these wonderful photographs.
