EXHIBITION OPENING LECTURE Georgia O’Keeffe & the Far Away: Nature & Image Join us for an exhibition-opening lecture that explores how the beauty and elegance of O’Keeffe’s paintings were prompted by the intimacy of her ongoing experiences with the Southwest’s natural forms—especially because of the camping trips O’Keeffe made to remote areas. Barbara Buhler Lynes, Curator, Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, who organized the exhibition, explains: “O’Keeffe had been passionate about nature since childhood, but living amid the astonishing beauty of the Ghost Ranch landscape, and making camping and rafting trips in the Southwest, allowed her to form an immediate and personal relationship with the area through which she realized her independent spirit and sense of adventure in new ways.” Lecture by Carolyn Kastner, Associate Curator, Georgia O’Keeffe Museum.

Nature as Source for Sculptures: Observing, Gathering, and Making
Nature was a major source of inspiration for Georgia O’Keeffe.

As we walk along the Rio Santa Fe and gather materials, we will observe and discuss the environment relative to compositional ideas that occur to us. Later, back in the studio, we will build our earthy sculptures. We will experience a way in which creative ideas can spring from nature. Led by Ted Hallman, visual artist.

WALKS IN THE AMERICAN WEST
Nature as Source for Sculptures: Observing, Gathering, and Making
Nature was a major source of inspiration for Georgia O’Keeffe. She spent hours walking and sitting while observing, drawing, and painting in nature, as well as making camping excursions for longer immersions. As we walk along the Rio Santa Fe and gather materials, we will observe and discuss the environment relative to compositional ideas that occur to us. Later, back in the studio, we will build our earthy sculptures. We will experience a way in which creative ideas can spring from nature. Led by Ted Hallman, visual artist.
LOCATION: Meet at the Education Annex, 123 Grant Avenue.
COST: $65; Members and Business Partners, $55.
