Georgia O’Keeffe in New Mexico (May 11-1

Saturday, May 11 - 1:00 PM


Dive into Georgia O’Keeffe’s creative process and see how the many facets of New Mexico impacted her life and her artistic work, in the City of Enchantment—a city unique in the nation for its combination of a long and fascinating history, a layered culture from ancient to modern, and a culinary cornucopia of indigenous food styles. On day trips to Taos and O’Keeffe’s home and studio in Abiquiu, experience the curvaceous adobe-style architecture and undulating landforms that create the chiaroscuro light and shadow so adored by O’Keeffe. 

 

You will enjoy private visits to noteworthy O’Keeffe sites, delectable New Mexican cuisine, and lectures by our esteemed faculty, distinguished Professors Elizabeth Turner and Stephen B. Cushman, who will provide the intellectual and historical framework for understanding the complexity of O’Keeffe’s sense of place and artistic genius.
