One of Georgia's NM landscapes.
Flowers of Fire by Georgia.
The Andrew Smith Gallery is practically next door to the O'Keefe Museum, so we popped in for a quick look. The Gallery was displaying works by Ansel Adams and other famous photographers. Ansel took numerous fantastic landscape photos, including the 2 below.
We had dinner at the Cowgirl Hall of Fame, a popular, fun and funky BBQ place with lots of old cowgirl photos on the walls. The food was great but I was slightly disappointed that the photos didn't have captions. The viewer has to guess who, where and when. Although Trish appears to be totally out of it in this photo, she really wasn't.
I saw a movie about Georgia O'Keefe a few years back. Can't remember the name of it or where I saw it but I do remember poignant scenes from it and how she got "discovered" in New York. She was living in a critical time in history - the women's movement, the growth of the SW art colony, and the first of the hippie generation, the freedom to pursue 'illicit' relationships, to name a few. I wonder who she would have been if she had been born for instance in Victorian England. The movie of her life left me with a sense of sadness although I think she found peace in the SW.
ReplyDeleteThe picture with Trish makes me long for a good girlfriend laugh together!
