Insightful Program on O'Keeffe, April 6, 2011
This review is from: Women in Art:: O'Keeffe (Portrait of an Artist #1) (VHS Tape)
I thoroughly enjoyed this VHS video program about O'Keeffe's art and life, because it featured snippets of a rare interview with her when she was in her mid 80s or so (early 1970s I think). It also featured some video interviews of Juan Hamilton, a potter, who was her personal assistant in her later years and showed them working on a retrospective catalogue and exhibit of her work.
There were also sections of art curators/historians and other experts talking about O'Keeffe's art and events in her life.
Overall, it is a bit of a valentine to her - everyting is presented in a positive way, editorially.
I was especially fascinated by the part of the program that dealt with O'Keeffe's relationship with Alfred Steiglitz, the photographer and her husband. In reading many biographies about her, I know they had a very difficult relationship, and in this video she alludes to that a little, with a twinkle in her eye.
The video arrived in very good condition and on time.
