I will always come back to New Mexico, where ever I may roam, it's in my DNA! Native New Mexican. Have to add @ around 8:48 she is walking around some of the volcanic ash deposits from the Valles caldera, the crater from one of the largest volcanic events in fairly recent geologic history. Was a big blow, chucking boxcar size boulders to Kansas! Part of the Rio Grande rift tectonics.
Such an original. She has been a special favourite of mine for many years. I simply love her work. And now to hear her talking about her life and work is wonderful.
Went to her home recently. I like her, she didn't take no shit, wore what she wanted, slept with who she wanted, painted what she wanted and lived where she wanted. Takes guts to push through life like she did. I wish I knew her.
Chris H. If you knew her, or she let you know her it would be after a series of tests including to see whither or not you would upset her guard dogs when they woke up out of their nap.
" but i thought someone could tell me how to paint landscape, but i never found that person. I had to just settle down and try. I thought someone could tell me how, but i found nobody could. They could tell you how they painted their landscape, but they couldn't tell me to paint mine"
This documentary, which first introduced me to O'Keefe when I was in school, is impossible to find anywhere. I do wish whoever posted this would post the remainder of the film. It's so beautiful and (as you can hear) has a fine musical score. O'Keefe had such an American brilliance. This is the neatest film on the creative process I have ever seen.
Good to hear from you - actually O'keeffe always denied any hidden meaning in her work - often accused of sexual meaning in her flowers or death symbolism in her skulls, she always said that people were talking about themselves when they saw her work that way !
This film introduced me to the person and works of Georgia O'Keeffe when I was still in school; I remember it well. I wish it was available on DVD or Blu Ray. There are vintage VHS copies listed on ebay, etc. but I haven't owned a tape player in years--have you? The film was produced the PBS flagship WNET in NYC--I'd think they would wish to capitalize on the continuing and expanded interest in O'Keefe. It's damned insulting that they've essentially abandoned the documentary. The lovely chamber score was composed by John Morris, best known for his scores for most of the Mel Brooks/Brooksfilm movies.
THANK YOU :D I wish there were more! @ Viollete A. Pity that so many art teachers get so turned on by her work that they think it's suggestive, i.e. sexual, and misunderstand the magnificenct sensuality. One can almost feel her touch, like caressing the canvas with each brush stroke; and taste the colors; that's energy!...and that makes her paintings so powerful. If they could only see the hills and the valleys of the West through my eyes,perhaps they'd understand. We are so blessed that O'Keefe was able to translate her vision onto canvas for us all.
hello! thank you so much for uploading these three bits of the documentary. what an inspiring woman. do you know of a place where i could watch the entire documentary? do you have it? thank you and greetings from greece
Those reflections of sunspots on the building in New York could only be seen by the one person intended, messages from God. Nice of her to point out such a simple basic piece of interesting information. Tingling sensations at the end. I wished I had had a chance to visit her at the Ghost Ranch while she was there. It does feel as if her spirit is watching over the place.
I could 'imagine' living, as a "poor" woman, in New York, living in a "small house"... outside is a small garden...where I could pick up the flowerrs and leaves , stems and roots, looking for the "cause" & "effect" of birth and death, putting em ol on a canvass, shining afront a black skies!
"It was nice of Stieglitz to let you go to New Mexico every summer." "Well listen, he didn't let me. I just went." ~ I love that.

@@gemoonopra Dogs always know!
She lived her life well!

The best thing is seeing her walking in her own landscape. We don't get to see that too often with Artists.

A wonderful artist, a beautiful person! Thanks for this precious video, and thank you, Georgia.
Wow! She was and remains so very special. It makes me happy to see how she thought, and how she worked.
A woman who knew what made her tick..importantly following her instincts...beautiful art and so productive.
Whoa Georgia,Georgia what a beautiful,amazing and brilliant woman 💐❤️😃😍😘
Good to hear from you - actually O'keeffe always denied any hidden meaning
in her work - often accused of sexual meaning in her flowers or death symbolism
in her skulls, she always said that people were talking about themselves when they saw her work that way !
Thanks for uploading this!
A beautiful artist and person. Up there with Vincent. Oh to have met them.
would love to see her works in person-love her attitude!
You can always come to the land she loved, Geordia O'Keeffe country! Truly a magical place, but please just visit!
Thanks for uploading! Wonderful to watch!
She was lovely

Oh I don't know. A lot of her work is unmistakably vaginal. Only they didn't show any of that work here.
Many men's works are obviously penis but no one comments about THAT, lol Also she did paintings of tall skyscrapers too!!
Irene Thomas good comment!!!
So inappropriate and dirty minded
"Certainly! Wouldn't you climb if you were here?" Love her.

Does anybody know the individual/group responsible for the musical score involved in this documentary?
Living in california I dream of stumbling upon one of her works from perhaps New Mexico say like at an antique shop
That’ll never happen in New Mexico! In Santa Fe there’s the Georgia Okeeffe museum where you can see her work.
I don’t know why but until recently that she was black- love her work

Maharlika Torres. Imaginative role player. Interesting.

Just found this, know nothing yet....want to express. Ms. O'Keeffe paintings; imho:
Not one is of a flower.
