O'Keeffe
VHS, 60 min., 1977
A visually arresting documentary on American painter Georgia O'Keefe. This sensitive presentation looks behind the legend to reveal a woman who was also full of warmth, humor, and practical wisdom. The film lets the artist speak for herself. In doing so, it balances facts with her own impressions of her life and art. The picture fills the screen with lesser-known paintings, early sketches, and her large desert images.
