A moving feature documentary about the life and art of an American icon, considered by many to be the greatest woman artist of the 20th century.
Georgia O’Keeffe is widely revered as the “Mother of American Modernism” and the greatest woman artist of the 20th century. In the 1920s, O’Keeffe became famous for her paintings of flowers, bones, and the beauty of nature. She posed nude for shocking photographs by her lover, Alfred Stieglitz, but denied that her paintings depicted sexual imagery. In the 1970s, living in her beloved New Mexico, she emerged as an iconic role model for American women. This feature documentary film stars Claire Danes as the voice of Georgia O’Keeffe with narration by Hugh Dancy. [118 min; documentary; English]
