This week at the Lincoln Theater
"Georgia O’Keeffe: The Brightness of Light" - (encore; 1 hour, 58 minutes) - Free! - Back by popular demand! “Georgia O’Keeffe: the Brightness of Light” is a feature documentary film exploring the life and art of the most important American woman artist of the 20th century. Known as the “Mother of American Modernism,” O’Keeffe exploded on the New York art scene in the 1920s with her paintings of flowers, bones, and the beauty of nature. Nude photographs of O’Keeffe taken by her lover, Alfred Stieglitz, shocked the public and contributed to the perception that her paintings were sexually charged. In the 1970s, O’Keeffe, famously isolated in the New Mexico desert, emerged as an iconic role model for second wave feminists. From Academy Award-winning director Paul Wagner, the film features music by Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch, narration by Hugh Dancy, and Claire Danes as the Voice of Georgia O'Keeffe. Thursday, May 21 at 7:15 p.m. (please note the start time).
