Art Exhibit

I ventured out into the rain to go to the Pompidou Centre to see a Georgia O’Keeffe exhibit. I wouldn’t have gone, due to the weather, if I hadn’t already made a reservation. I’m glad I went. It was very nice. She had an interesting life which included a wild love affair and then marriage with Max  Stieglitz, a photographer who also showed her work at his gallery. She eventually travelled to New Mexico and that is where she produced some of her most famous art, although she did do some great paintings in New York City. She died at the age of 90. I visited New Mexico, specifically Sante Fe, and saw the Georgia O’Keefe Museum and then went out into the desert to see Ghost Ranch where she lived and worked. It was an inspiring trip.

The unusual exterior of the Pompidou. You take the series of escalators seen on the outside of the building to get to the 6th floor where the exhibit was. There is also a posh restaurant called Georges there as well with fabulous views.

She’s well known for her closeup paintings of flowers.
Probably her most famous painting.
