In my opinion, Artist Georgia O'Keeffe looked good both in how she appeared as a woman (click the link in red below the title above to see why) and in how she looked at the world and reimagined what she saw.

Fine Arts - The Paintings of Georgia O’Keeffe
Roughly chronological.
Music:
Vivaldi - Nuovi Virtuosi Di Roma - Concerto in C - Op 8 No 6
Amherst Saxophone Quartet - Eubie Dubie
Jazzentials of Bach - Toccata and Funk and Choral in D minor
R Carlos Nakai - Echoes of Time
Native Flute Ensemble - Summoning Winds
During O’Keeffe’s marriage to Stieglitz, both had several affairs, O’Keeffe’s with women and men, since she was bisexual. Though the nature of their relationship is unconfirmed, there is substantial evidence that O’Keeffe had an affair with the famous painter Frida Kahlo sometime during her marriage to Diego Rivera. The two met in December 1931 in New York City at the opening of Rivera’s solo exhibition at the MOMA. Lucienne Bloch, a friend and assistant of Frida and Diego’s, claimed that Rivera bragged later that his wife had been flirting with O’Keeffe. From here, a friendship and potential relationship began. …Having a hard time seeing how this is germane to a conservative forum.

Who cares whether she had affairs? The important thing is that she was a massive influence on art and that’s something literate people care about. And many conservatives are literate and, therefore, interested.
The meme on her photo said, “Fear never stopped her from doing what she wanted.” It’s straight from Hell.
Fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. - Proverbs 9:10
God cares.
Opus?
Her paintings looked like vaginas.
Yes; a massive influence.
The important thing is that she was a massive influence on art …
Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings; substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness; repulsive, meaningless art.”

That was intentional, even though she denied it over and over.
But I agree she had a large influence on modern art.
Good post.
She’s one of the greats of art. I’m grateful the majority can recognize her quality. Her personal life was her business and I have no interest in looking thru keyholes into other people’s lives. I put my joy into looking at the walls of museums.
Few artists live lives that are the norm. Perhaps their creativity springs from their open-mindedness. But what a loss the world would have had if artists were forced into the mold of the most conservative thinkers.
Another opus?
I’m sorry, olog, but I don’t get your implication.
Saying that creativity comes from so-called “open-mindedness” rather than as a gift from God. And uncalled-for digs at conservatives.
Also, did you ignore post 8?
Yes...she made is suck! Huh huh Huh huh
Georgia is dead and I’m not.
I’ve always admired her work, saw a wonderful exhibit decades ago at the Guggenheim in NYC and haven’t been without one of her prints wherever I’ve lived since then. Incredible stylized flowers.
The current O’Keefe print is in the kitchen, looks nice with the Mucha poster print from Belgium. I believe Mucha was a Chech.
So I’m disqualified from being a conservative?
I truly ignore most of the quotes. I’m not into extremism in any direction - liberal or conservative. My interest is not in anything “religious” or “conservative.” My total interest is in seeing Trump re-elected. He’s my hero and my center and I wander as things catch my fancy, like art or music or archeology or medical. The absolutely most fascinating people wander the halls of these threads. They’re often brilliant and can lend such a wide range of thought to make one look at the world from so many different directions. I love so many of the people that comment here. They just make us step outside our normal world, which is thrilling. To me, THEY’RE the gift.
There is no extremism in conservatism. It’s the opposite of extreme. I’m surprised your time here has not taught you that; or perhaps you are choosing to ignore that fact?
This thread does not appear to be about Trump, JFTR. That’s a red herring.
It’s also not about religion. It’s about the beauty of art.
