Georgia Totto O'Keeffe (1887-1986). Bach's Concerto in C - Op 8 No 6 for her early work. Amherst Saxophone Quartet's Eubie Dubie and Jazzentials of Bach's Toccata and Funk and Choral in D minor for her New York and Lake George years. And R Carlos Nakai's Echoes of Time and Native Flute Ensemble's Summoning Winds for her New Mexico years.
Very nice, mairdie. Thank you.
“I’m thinking she slept with her paintbrush”.
I agree. I knew her when I was a teenager and she practically did.
PING
Awestruck!
My wonderful ex lives in Albiqui and is a painter. We were married when he was a high energy physicist and I found a magazine which published three pages of his handwritten calculations proving a theorem. That air must keep minds exceptionally clear.
LOL. Hadn't heard that one before.
I wanted the music to change as she developed her style, so I thought NY deserved modern Bach.
Very nice. She could do flowers like no one else!
Some of her abstract ones look like an acid trip, yet then she could do a spot-on landscape, too.
Thanks for the link. Tweeted it.
Good choice!
My ancestors founded the Ghost Ranch. They ( my great great great uncles) were rumored to be horse thieves and road agents - hence the locals referring to the spread as the “Ghost Ranch” -
Wait a minute....Are you saying that you knew THEE
Georgia O’Keeffe, the one who was married to Alfred Stieglitz, called by some The Father of Modern American Photography?
That Georgia O’Keeffe?
I am fully impressed at your contact with greatness!
I recall studying Georgia in Art History
Do we not have the GREATEST collection of people here on FR? They’ve done everything, worked in every possible profession, been everywhere, met everyone, and they’re fun besides. It makes conversations so very interesting.
I am flummoxed!
Or as the Brits say; Gobsmacked.
She didn’t say that herself. She finally wrote about people bringing their own interpretations to her paintings. She’s rather like a Rorschach test. I remember reading those sexual interpretations, and the feminist pages on the web still stress those, but I realized when I finished the video that there wasn’t a single time that I had a single sexual interpretation of any picture, so I would agree with those saying it’s personal interpretation.
Included the top one, I think, but took out the bottom. The video covers maybe 50-60 percent of her work.
