The Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA, recently curated an exhibit of Georgia O'Keefe's works titled:
Art, Image, Style. It was more than okay.
Georgia O'Keefe is a well known American artist but the recent exhibit of her work at the PEM revealed a side of her that I was unaware of. Her personal style.
The fact that she made her own clothing was a revelation. The fact that she had planned on being a fashion illustrator was another revelation.
Georgia O'Keefe's artistic direction took a major turn when she met and fell in love with Alfred Steigliz. But despite the various phases of her life, artistic and personal, O'Keefe maintained a style uniquely her own. This exhibit was a joy to experience. Kudos to the PEM for yet another stellar contribution to our community.
