One of the best known U.S. painters, Georgia O'Keeffe's colorful evocations of the New Mexican landscape are as all-American as peyote and the atomic bomb. However, her fame has relied on the her photographed image as much as on her prolific canvases. This lecture by Barbara Buhler Lynes, curator at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and The Emily Fisher Landau Director at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Research Center, focuses on the role that the artist's own image played in the popularity and understanding of her work. The talk will focus on portraits snapped by Ansel Adams, Philippe Halsman, Yosuf Karsh, Arnold Newman, Alfred Stieglitz, Todd Webb and Andy Warhol and will serve as a compliment to the Frist's current exhibit, Georgia O'Keeffe and Her Times. The talk is free in the Auditorium.
