Georgia O’Keeffe: Memories of Drawings
Georgia O’Keeffe’s (1887 – 1986) iconic works of organic forms – including flowers and bones broke new ground for women artists. While best known as a painter, drawing was central to O’Keeffe’s practice. She used it as a language to evoke important moments and emotions – the curve of a flower petal, a desert horizon, the wave of a hair, or the flow of a winding road. The 21 drawings featured in this exhibition were made between 1915 and 1963, spanning the period when O’Keeffe established herself as a major figure in American Modernism.
Georgia’s work will be on display at the Haverhill Arts Centre studio.
When: Saturday 22 June – Sunday 21 July
How Much: Free
