I had no idea that the sexualisation of O’Keefe’s work was against her will. As your videos do often do, my perspective on a beloved artist has been fundamentally changed. Thank you for telling this story!
Even though the sexual interpretation of O'Keefe's earlier art was rejected by her, that doesn't necessarily mean that a sexual interpretation of that work wasn't valid. I think O'Keefe disliked the reduction of the work to such limited parameters, when she probably saw her efforts as multivalent.
@@barrymoore4470 A good point! An artist doesn’t need to intend to communicate something for her viewers to perceive it. I had just always (sort of naively) assumed she was the one pushing the sexual interpretation of her work to the forefront. I’m pleased to know different now!
Really? Looking at the one on the thumbnail for this video, I first of all thought it was a pair of legs inverted. Granted, it would be somewhat abstracted, but the good old vag is there yet again.
I understand the relevance here, given the influence of Steiglitz, but it’s one of the reasons I love learning about 20th century artists in general - to see and hear them is so compelling, whether it’s interview style like this or seeing Jackson Pollock at work
I want this channel to exist for as long as it can. Such an amazing content, so well thought and crafted. It's unbelievable how much I've learned about art history and improved as an aspiring artist since I've discovered you ❤
I really like the way you tie the shifting of her art styles to American history. The rain clouds hovering over the dry desert was something I never understood the signifigance of when my teach tried to explain why the piece mattered back when I was in elementary school, thank you for such a in-depth and clear analysis as always.
Neither did I, and I live in this region and practically worship the coming of the monsoon! James has a great eye for detail, or at least has really done his homework
It is often hard for me to appreciate works by artists that are well known but that I'm not very familiar with. If I go to a biography, there is so much information that it is hard to wade through it. Your explanations make it easy to get a foot hold.
I was a 1st grader in Albuquerque when my teacher showed a movie of Georgia O'Keeffe and then she said, and now you get to meet her! ... as a child of 6 I honestly had no idea the honor it was to have met her in real life. I look back on it now, and I would have to have that experience again only with the knowledge that I was in the presence of a genius.
If you ever wonder if making these videos is worth all the effort, please know you have created art appreciation and understanding among those of us who have zero art education or skill. You make it accessible and remove the daunting barrier that many of us non art types are intimidated by. Thank you!!
I feel like fame is a big reason so many artists become kinda tired and bored. I am happy to see this woman in her old age and blindness still pursuing her need to create. An inspirational story. Great essay.
I was never really interested in desert environments until I viewed an O’Keefe exhibit. When I saw how she so artfully used colors and shades to depict the skulls and landscapes, I wanted to see those places for myself. Now I visit the Southwestern deserts at least once a year, mostly to photograph them. They amaze me like they amazed her, and I have her to thank for that.
Wow. That section with side by side photos and paintings is really powerful. I read a large biography of O'Keefe a few years ago by Roxana Robinson. She's incredible, and the museum in Santa Fe is a must see
I love how you put her work in a historical context. Helped me appreciate her work that much more. Thx for this and all your other art education videos. ❤
This channel has rekindle my love for art into another level of understanding and appreciation. Watching this video about O’keeffee taught me so much about her work and what made her such an important and incredible artist. Thank you so much
In 1977 O'Keefe published a book of some of her paintings. Not all of them, for there were so many that no one book could contain them all. She explained her thinking as she painted them. It's a wonderful book, and I was able to obtain one of the last available copies. Shapes and colors always fascinated her, and it was the shape of the bones that originally attracted her. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job explaining her work and her thinking. You seem to have a much better grasp of her originality than many of the critics.
A great artist, and a true American original. She also had the most beautiful, compelling features, highly photogenic. It's easy to see how any admirer of art and creativity would have been drawn to her.
I know I’m just repeating the praise of others but I must - the way you give context to the artist’s life and works is a big part of why your videos stand out above the others. Thank you!
I often have trouble understanding more abstract and surrealist art - I'm a very literal thinker so I can't always follow the artist's thought process. This is a fantastic introduction to both her art and the connection between art and history
Most often artists paint for themselves and expect the viewer to formulate his or her own “story” from what they see. Many artists who might be able to explain their thought process would not want to. Art critics and others who feel they can “explain” art are generally speculating, at best, and feeding their own egos by demonstrating what they believe is their vast knowledge of the very processes they themselves are incapable of performing. Like that old adage, “those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.”
This is by far the greatest art channel in RUclips. Every time the level of enjoyment is surpassed! How cool is that? Thank you sooo much!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️
An incredibly inspiring artist with her unique eye on the world around her and her interpretation of nature with the glorious colours. Her personal life seemed to be much in turmoil but she carried on, a true artist, in what must have been terribly difficult at times. Thanks for this great video, really enjoyed watching it.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this video. Not a fan of the obnoxious advertisers. One would think they could match an ad to your awesome video. Still, I am making my way to N.M to paint G.Ok style. I was worried about the paint drying. Your video solved that. I will bring Charcoal and oil. Maybe some water colors. Thank you for this wonderful video. It is time to create again.
Wow, I am so glad I watched this! I'm glad to learn that what I've been taught about her was wrong and that instead of being an artist who was painting with sexuality in mind, she was inspired by photography and wanted to be her own artist. This was great!
I had the knowledge of a pin about art history. Seemed so complicated and intimidating to understand a vast subject. But, the complexities with which an artist and the painting on the focus are explained, peeling off every layer with a nuanced understanding of socio-economic status at the time makes me come back every week to check on new uploads. Bravo to the channel creator!
Honestly, I absolutely LOVE this channel. You clearly are very gifted at distilling essential ideas down to digestible proportions. Please keep making this incredible content.!!
The Cincinnati art museum has an exhibit of her work, focusing on her photography. I was already planning to go, so this information is rather timely. Great job as always, James!
I am new to the art world. I started painting lessons is January and my desire for learning more has been fueled! This channel is wonderful for understanding what sometimes feels like a foreign language. Thank you, Mr. Payne, for time and effort you put into these videos!
Many of Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings bring me to tears. ALL of her paintings inspire and move me. I grew up in the desert Southwest. Georgia O'Keefe depicts the desert in a way that is true and artistic. Thank you James for creating this film. I love all of your work, but am especially drawn to this one because of my love for Georgia O'Keefe, her art and her unique life.
Another great video of you about this artist that is so dear to my heart and I got introduced to her work when living in New Mexico, not far from her home in Abiquiu. ❤ thank you for these great videos.
You have enabled me to enjoy O'Keeffe's art in a way I never thought I could. You helped me CONNECT to her work. That is powerful storytelling. Spellbinding work. Please keep it up!
Excellent video! Thank you so much for describing O’Keeffe’s life and correcting the warped vision of her created by her famous photographer. I find her skulls to be perfectly evocative of the American Southwest. Absolutely love your channel and content!
Wow so much that was uncovered in this video - thank you for dispelling the myth that her work was about vulvas when it was not - and so shocking that her nude portrait went alongside her art - did she know he was going to do that ?
Definitely one of my favourite artists, such a genius. Her subjects are so simply depicted, yet so powerful that you can feel her presence. I am not surprised to know she was considered the Mother Of American Modernism.
Thank you, James Payne, for another great video! O’keefe was not just an artist, but a force that could not be denied, and would not be channeled by anyone but Georgia O’keefe. Your video makes that clear.
Another brilliant short doc James. I had no idea of Georgia relationship with Alfred and photography, but I as a photographer, I always had in my mind that art and photography are utterly entwined, as art is also an inspiration for my work. Thank you for enlighten us, love your work. Cheers from São Paulo!
I have been watching since you had 2,000 followers !! Truly congratulations and thank you for taking this time to present these beautiful informational videos
I wonder if the skulls and flowers motifs could be inspired by mexican culture. Great video and beautiful paintings! I've seen the "Ram's head"- painting somwhere before but had no idea of the artist or the history behind it. I love that you take art that most people have seen somewhere in popular culture, like "The Great Wave" by Hokusai or "The Kiss" by Gustav Klimt, and bring its artist, history and cultural relevance to light.
Thanks you - she quite often painted artificial flowers in her paintings which were inspired by the flowers on the graves of local Hispanics. Best james
James, I am watching your content singe your first video. Congratulations to your truly deserved success! I recommend your channel to all my friends and family. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks again for quite an interesting video! I´ve never understood and never felt a connection to art, but your short-feeling and information-rich videos are really helping me at getting a grip of why people are fascinated by art and why some pieces are considered especially interesting. I´ve yet to understand how and why people can feel a connection to artwork without having all that knowledge.
@Helli …for connection… a response to your question: Pick a work of art you’re curious about. (It doesn’t have to be a reputed “masterpiece “, it doesn’t have to be a painting)- - and sit with it in person. Take your time. It will speak to you. Art communicates.
Excellent expose of an artist whose work was often misinterpreted by others but whose talent never faded and whose legacy lives on. Great Art explained always gets to the heart of the artist and their creation
So well done. As a female photographer, I have been very influenced by her. And, by the many photographs that Steiglitz made of her hands. So much of this video made me realize that I too bought into the narrative of her that Steiglitz created. The sexualized artist and art, the escape to New Mexico.
This is my first approach to O'Keefe's work, thanks to your videos I am learning so much of artists I knew, but also of artists whose work I was totally ignorant of, I've really fallen in love with some of the pieces you showed here!! I love this channel so muuuuuch
I love the bird’s eye (drone today) scope of Sheeler’s “American Landscape”. I would stare at it for hours noticing the realistic details. It is probably his only work with a human pictured. Just something about the cool sunlight making an industrial scene look clean and serene. Sorry… I was excited to see this painting mentioned. O’Keefe was a powerful artist and yes a visionary woman before her time. Another Great Video!
Thanks for a seriously informative , profusely illustrated, outrageously brief and entirely enjoyable study of this artist, leaving us entirely satisfied that we have the goods on Georgia O'Keeffe. Now I must get into my studio.
Beautifully done, thank you. I knew next to nothing about her and grateful to learn about her, especially now that I know how much you love her art from your Live Chat. Thank you.
Please leave a comment and like the video - I appreciate all your comments and it REALLY helps promote the channel - Thanks so much - James
Thank _you_ for another perfect introduction to an artist I knew very little about other than her name.
it is always we who must thank you.
René Magritte please

Thank you!
I had no idea that the sexualisation of O’Keefe’s work was against her will. As your videos do often do, my perspective on a beloved artist has been fundamentally changed. Thank you for telling this story!
Even though the sexual interpretation of O'Keefe's earlier art was rejected by her, that doesn't necessarily mean that a sexual interpretation of that work wasn't valid. I think O'Keefe disliked the reduction of the work to such limited parameters, when she probably saw her efforts as multivalent.
@@barrymoore4470 A good point! An artist doesn’t need to intend to communicate something for her viewers to perceive it. I had just always (sort of naively) assumed she was the one pushing the sexual interpretation of her work to the forefront. I’m pleased to know different now!
It seems rather disingenuous of her to have said that. Just about everything she ever painted looks like a veejay. I’m not a fan.
@@gilly5094 Her renderings of skulls do not register as vaginal. Or at least it would be a stretch to apply that description to them.
Really? Looking at the one on the thumbnail for this video, I first of all thought it was a pair of legs inverted. Granted, it would be somewhat abstracted, but the good old vag is there yet again.
Thank you so much for including clips of O'Keeffe speaking for herself!
I understand the relevance here, given the influence of Steiglitz, but it’s one of the reasons I love learning about 20th century artists in general - to see and hear them is so compelling, whether it’s interview style like this or seeing Jackson Pollock at work
Are you an artist too?
And I was shocked to realize how youthful her voice sounded! Very unusual.
I want this channel to exist for as long as it can. Such an amazing content, so well thought and crafted. It's unbelievable how much I've learned about art history and improved as an aspiring artist since I've discovered you ❤
That makes me happy - thanks 🙏
I feel the same.
I agree. I was so happy to find it. I AM EXCITED.
I really like the way you tie the shifting of her art styles to American history. The rain clouds hovering over the dry desert was something I never understood the signifigance of when my teach tried to explain why the piece mattered back when I was in elementary school, thank you for such a in-depth and clear analysis as always.

New Mexico appreciates people like you! when you grow up here, you almost take its beauty for granted, I wouldn’t live anywhere else ❤
There aren't many channels on RUclips where I drop what I am doing to watch when something new drops. I love your work brother. Such good stuff.
I appreciate that!
Wow. That section with side by side photos and paintings is really powerful. I read a large biography of O'Keefe a few years ago by Roxana Robinson. She's incredible, and the museum in Santa Fe is a must see
I only knew O'Keefe because of her charcoal work
That is/was all that I was interested in.
I love how you put her work in a historical context. Helped me appreciate her work that much more. Thx for this and all your other art education videos. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your video gives me a new found appreciation for Georgia O'Keeffe. The mainstream narrations for most female artists are over sexualized.
Art: the 'unique' final object of creative thought, created by extraordinary skills.
This channel has rekindle my love for art into another level of understanding and appreciation. Watching this video about O’keeffee taught me so much about her work and what made her such an important and incredible artist. Thank you so much

O’Keefe’s simplicity and mystic invites to mind wander and daydream. Maybe its the desert that causes this break in the senses!
Love the deep dives, thanks for shining light on artist I would have probably never heard of otherwise
My pleasure!
Exquisite content as always. I've been following this channel since its early days and I'm so glad to see how much the subscriber base has grown.
