Dear Sophie -
GEORGIA OKEEFE is another artist who made the desert her home, a generation prior. In 1929 while her husband ALFRED STIEGLITZ was a preeminant photographer and gallerist in Manhattan, Okeefe pioneered out to New Mexico where she she ultimately settled in 1949. There she sought independence and inspiration from the landscape.
She was strong self-made person. Okeefe lived and work in Abiqu New Mexico outside of Taos until she was 98 years old. Her Houses -
Some artistic peers and friends include PAUL STRAND, ARTHUR DOVE & MARSDEN HARTLEY. All fabulous. Our wedding reception was in a room filled with her paintings.
with love,
