Come and discover, at the Maison des arts, tuesday 26 april at 6:30 p.m., during the conference open to all, the hectic life of Georgia O’Keeffe through the pictorial and musical works that made her a renowned artist. With Pauline Trougnou, speaker guide, it will be possible to ask questions live. Immerse yourself in the world of one of the greatest figures of 20th century North American art. Disappeared at the age of 98, this pioneer of modern art will have gone through most of the aesthetic adventures of the previous century. A star in the United States, an emblematic figure in the history of American painting, when she died in 1986, Georgia O’Keeffe was the most photographed artist in the United States. Between figuration and abstraction, from her beginnings in New York to her installation in New Mexico, Georgia O’Keeffe’s art is a sensory journey to the heart of the motif, that of flowers and landscapes, inspired by a nature tinged with dreamlike accents. Why has it remained unknown to us for so long? From her earliest childhood, Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986) was introduced to the arts through painting and music lessons. A few years later, her meeting with Alfred Stieglitz (photographer) who would later become her husband, propelled her to the front of the stage and allowed her to develop a universe recognizable among all: between abstraction, sensuality and radicality, spotlight on the career and work of this fascinating modern American artist.
