To create world in any of the arts takes courage

Theses are beautiful pictures of Georgia O’Keeffe. I love her eagle eyes, her way at looking at the camera with this slightly condescending attitude. There is so much force in this woman that she seems to be empowered by a greater force that she channels in her paintings. I particularly love older pictures of her, the ones where she is so androgyne.

A true artist, she transcends love in her paintings with the dance of color, light and subject and her mysterious way of looking at the landscape and objects. There is so much sensuality and desire in her paintings that I would qualify her art as being “a fleur de peau” which is a French expression that describes when your skin becomes extremely sensitive to anything that it touches it.

Also look at this treasure, an interview of her at 92 and still so much playfulness and mischief.

Look out for the  movie on her life on Saturday September 19th on
Lifetime.
