  • Georgia O’Keeffe: The Brightness of Light

    Georgia O’Keeffe: the Brightness of Light and Q&A with the Filmmakers

    Pollak Theatre

    Georgia O’Keeffe: the Brightness of Light is a 2-hour documentary exploring the life and art of the most important woman artist of the 20th century – the ”Mother of Modernism.” In the 1920s, O’Keeffe became famous for her paintings of flowers, bones, and the beauty of nature. She posed nude for shocking photographs by Alfred Stieglitz, but denied that her paintings depicted sexual imagery. In the 1970s, she emerged as an iconic role model for women.

    Following the screening, Producer Ellen Casey Warner and Director Paul Wagner will host a discussion to share insights into the making of the documentary and answer audience questions.

    $23 (General Public),  $21 (Seniors), $10 (Child), $5 (MU Students)
