DVD Reviews of Great Women Artists: Georgia O'Keefe
DVD Review: Bisexuality and Lesboeroticism Ignored
Summary: 3 Stars
Perhaps A&E's "Biography" series has me spoiled. I'm used to documentaries having interviews with biographers and descendants. If the person lived into the 20th Century, they show them speaking and moving. Things are in motion and fast-paced. This work, however, was like listening to an art historian give a lecture. And by the way, the (male) narrator's voice is low and I think those not paying attention or those who understand English as a second language may miss a lot. The work was focused on her art, which it showed chronologically. They show about a dozen photos of her and you never see her moving. Facts from her life come in a haphazard order. For example, they mentioned that she was married to Stieglitz before they mentioned when and where she was born.
After a few minutes, I was tempted to turn it off, but her art is so beautiful, I couldn't help but decide to keep going. I knew of her flowers and bones, but I didn't know she painted so many cityscapes. The work says she didn't identify as feminist, yet she championed the Equal Rights Amendment decades before Second Wave feminism began.
The narrator mentioned critics speaking of "Freudian repression" twice. However, in speaking of the sexual, he brings up masculine and feminine symbolism. He never brings up explicitly the woman-centeredness or lesboeroticism of her work. Though Wikipedia, Notable Names Base, and many others say O'Keeffe was bisexual, the topic is avoided here. At most, we see a photograph of her speaking with Eleanor Roosevelt, another famous bisexual woman married to a famous man. They never mention whether O'Keefe had a romantic relationship with Frida Kahlo as Out magazine once stated. Too, they never explain why O'Keeffe never drew humans.
It turns out that O'Keefe lived to be 98, so I must add her to my list of the famous who have longevity, such as Harry Hay, W.E.B. DuBois, and many others.

Description of Great Women Artists: Georgia O'Keefe
Georgia OšKeeffe was an American abstract painter, famous for the purity and lucidity of her still-life compositions. In 1916 the American photographer and art gallery director Alfred Stieglitz (whom she married in 1924) became interested in her abstract drawings and exhibited them at his gallery in New York City and in other important institutions. O'Keeffe moved to New Mexico in 1949, and is best known for her large paintings of desert flowers and scenery, in which single blossoms or objects such as a cow's skull are presented in close-up views. The program provides an in-depth look into her life, and includes numerous examples of her works while examining her style which made her unique in the world of art. This original program also features spectacular imagery and many rare historical photographs.Bestsellers in DVD
