Georgia O'Keeffe: An American Master

Georgia O’Keeffe was one of the most popular American artists of the 20th century. O’Keeffe painted, drew and sculpted an incredible array of subjects over her long career. She is likely the most famous artist associated with the Santa Fe region. Still misunderstood and misinterpreted even in the 21st century, her work was crucial to the history of modernism in America. In this program, art historian Jeff Mishur discusses a full range of Georgia O’Keeffe’s art, from her daring and innovative abstractions of the 1910s and 1920s to her elegant investigations of various subject matter such as architecture, landscapes, and flowers. Mishur is an owner of Art Excursions, a company that provides private guiding in Chicago; lectures; and boutique art and culture tours in the United States. In celebration of Arts DuPage Month, refreshments will be served.
