- Georgia O'Keeffe's style of dress became an intimate part of her artistic identity. O'Keeffe dressed like she painted, highly valuing abstraction, simplicity, and seriality. In this illustrated talk, guest curator and art historian, Dr. Wanda M. Corn, explores the way O'Keeffe used her distinctive taste in clothes to model for photographers, creating a public persona for herself that still dominates the American imagination today.
Dr. Wanda M. Corn is the Robert and Ruth Halperin Professor Emerita in Art History at Stanford University. She is an American art and cultural historian and scholar of art and photography from the late 19th- to mid-20th centuries. During her career at Stanford University she brought John D. Rockefeller's personal collection to the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco. Her exhibition and book, "The Great American Thing," focused on artists such as Grant Wood and Andrew Wyeth. She has received numerous awards including the Women's Caucus for Art Lifetime Achievement Award and the Archives of American Art's Lawrence A. Fleischman Award for Scholarly Excellence in the Field of American Art History.
"Dressing for the Photographer, Georgia O'Keeffe and Her Clothes" was presented in conjunction with the exhibition "Georgia O'Keeffe: Art, Image, Style," organized by the Brooklyn Museum with guest curator Dr. Wanda M. Corn. The exhibition was made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts and was on view at the Wichita Art Museum March 30 through June 23, 2019.
Originally recorded the afternoon of Saturday, March 30, 2019 in the Howard E. Wooden Lecture Hall at the Wichita Art Museum in Wichita, Kansas.

Well done, excellent presentation with excellent presenter. Great insights.
Very enjoyable.
Simplicity pattern #3761 (1951) for those interested
I think is does both of them a deeper injustice by labeling the art nude works they did together.... as not good for their reputation...... regardless of whether the social drama of that time ....deemed them shameful or damaging. That needs to stop. KNOCK IT OFF
That narcissist took pictures of her which are reminiscent of slabs of beef/.so crude, she's not meat/she is creation al spirit!
What a lot of Intellectual nonsense here; No I don't connect Georgia with Mother Teresa who actually was a con woman and was all for keeping women down by denying them Birth Control.
And YES Georgia was very Zen like; and was lucky....as ANY artist would be to get a Cover on Life. This constant looking back over the past with a critical eye because it wasn't perfect in some Museum staff's fantasy is absurd. Just stop with the complaints and focus on her as an artist not some Woman's artist. THAt is equality.
Georgia was also quite unconventional posing Nude back when that was not done unless you might be labeled a whore. She was a Rebel and a Monk at the same time.
Good comment!
