Georgia O’Keeffe is widely revered as the “Mother of American Modernism” and the greatest woman artist of the 20th century.


In the 1920s, O’Keeffe became famous for her paintings of flowers, bones, and the beauty of nature. She posed nude for shocking photographs by her lover, Alfred Stieglitz. But she denied the widespread belief that her paintings depicted sexual imagery. In the 1970s, living in her beloved New Mexico, she emerged as an iconic role model for American women.


This feature documentary film stars Claire Danes as the Voice of Georgia O’Keeffe with narration by Hugh Dancy and directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Paul Wagner.


Audience Comments:


“It is the finest movie about an artist’s life I have ever seen.”


“You really reached a deep sense of who she was, what she did as an artist, and why her work matters to so many people.”


“This will become THE classic and authoritative biographical documentary on O’Keeffe.”
