女性畫家Georgia O'keeffe

喬治亞·歐姬芙（Georgia Totto O'Keeffe，1887年11月15日－1986年3月6日）是一位美國藝術家，被列為20世紀的藝術大師之一。歐姬芙的繪畫作品已經成為1920年代美國藝術的經典代表，她以半抽象半寫實的手法聞名，其主題相當具有特色，多為花朵微觀、岩石肌理變化，海螺、動物骨頭、荒涼的美國內陸景觀為主。她的作品中常充滿著同色調的細微變化，組成具有韻律感的構圖，某些時候歐姬芙畫中的物品外輪廓，讓觀者感到此物品的清脆感。

看完了在kunstforum wien austrian bank 的展後對這位藝術家印象深刻，

她的畫傳遞著對這個世界的美好，

花朵總讓人聯繫著性感

而對真實的追求卻在畫布中柔美的體現出來，

鮮艷的色調和亦假亦真的形態

-攝影師畫廊主人先生Alfred Stieglitz比她大三十多歲，兩人惺惺相惜

-花是毆姬芙的成名作

Georgia O’Keeffe

Georgia O’Keeffe (1887–1986) was a founder of American Modernism and a pioneer as an artist. The opportunities to see O’Keeffe in Europe are rare: her paintings are distributed around the leading US collections, where they have gained an iconic status. This retrospective now provides a view for the first time in Austria of O’Keeffe’s oeuvre, which encompasses seven decades. Among the exhibits is also Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 (1932), the most expensive picture by a woman artist ever auctioned.

O’Keeffe debuted in 1916, exactly a hundred years ago, in an artistic circle dominated by men surrounding her later husband, the photographer Alfred Stieglitz. The exhibition starts off with her lesser known early work, with its close affinity to Wassily Kandinsky’s “spiritual” abstraction. O’Keeffe’s monumental flower pictures of the 1920s, which under the influence of the writings of Sigmund Freud evoked strongly sexualising interpretations, are among her most popular subjects. Formal specifics like the sharp focus, the cutting-edge delineation and the close-up are a visual demonstration of O’Keeffe’s innovative transposition of photographic strategies into painting. The show underlines this artistic dialogue with a selection of photographs by Alfred, Ansel Adams and Paul Strand. O’Keeffe’s almost abstract late landscapes inspired by the bleak, endless desert of New Mexico embody the creation of “The Great American Thing”, a specific American art, and anticipate the art trends of Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism. The exhibition accentuates O’Keeffe’s singular position, assumed through her bridge-building between European Modernism and American post-war abstraction, also through her constant mediation between a relationship with nature and abstraction, between organic and geometric, feeling and de-personalisation.

The exhibition was organized by Tate Modern in cooperation with the Bank Austria Kunstforum and the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto.

Curated by Heike Eipeldauer and Tanya Barson (Tate Modern).
