Born 386 years ago today, Johannes Vermeer ranks among the most admired of all Dutch artists. This glimpse into the private life of a woman is the first Vermeer painting to enter an American collection. The work is on view now in the special exhibition, "In Praise of Painting: Dutch Masterpieces at The Met." met.org/2RkpF5E

The Brooklyn Museum Looks at Georgia O’Keeffe’s Style

Opening March 2, the exhibition Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern examines how the artist expressed her persona through fashion

In 1927, Georgia O’Keeffe had her first museum show ever at the Brooklyn Museum; 90 years later, she returns. However, the focus of the exhibition Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern is not her paintings but her identity and persona as an artist. O’Keeffe consciously crafted her public image and notably resisted the erotic interpretations imposed upon her art. “The critics are just talking about themselves, not about what I am thinking,” she once said.

The Brooklyn Museum show will be a chance to look at O’Keeffe’s famed paintings through the lens of how she expressed and defined herself with fashion and photography. She was purposeful about her clothing choices, wearing such androgynous items as bowler hats, tailored suits, and sneakers. Some of these will be on view alongside intimate and striking photographs of her, taken by the likes of Alfred Stieglitz (her husband), Annie Leibovitz, and Cecil Beaton.

When: Opens Friday, March 3, continuing through Sunday, July 23
Where: Brooklyn Museum (200 Eastern Parkway, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn)

I will be presenting a program on O'Keefe's life and work.....see www.artworkslectures.com or call 845 216-9059

Imagine the scene: you uncover a painting stored away in the closet of an elderly relative’s home, coated in a blanket of dust so thick you can hardly make out anything but more dust underneath. You slide it out, begin to carefully brush it off, and find two piercing eyes peering out at you. You bru...
