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.
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?
Agreed.
