In this member lecture, Annelise K. Madsen, Gilda and Henry Buchbinder Associate Curator, Arts of the Americas, discusses Georgia O’Keeffe: “My New Yorks,” the first exhibition to seriously examine O’Keeffe’s paintings, drawings, and pastels of New York City’s urban landscape.
Join us to discover how these energetic experimentations are essential to understanding the modernist investigations O’Keeffe is best known for.
One can’t paint New York as it is, but rather as it is felt.
—Georgia O’Keeffe
