Georgia O’Keeffe: Abstraction

(February 6-May 9, 2010)

Although painter Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986), a central figure in 20th-century art, is best known for simplified images of recognizable objects, her contributions to American abstraction over the course of her long career were radical. By magnifying and tightly cropping her images, a framing device used by photographers, she found the means to express simultaneously the vastness of nature, the immensity of her own response to it, and a powerful sense of being one with it.

Included in the exhibition are more than 100 paintings, drawings, and watercolors by O’Keeffe, dating from 1915 to the late 1970s, and 12 photographic portraits of her by her husband, Alfred Stieglitz.  In conjunction with Georgia O’Keeffe: Abstraction, co-organized by The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C., the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, Santa Fe.

Field Trip to The Hirschorn

& Martinis at Maple Ave. Restaurant!

MEET THE ARTIST: Phoebe Greenberg

Thursday February 25th 7-8pm

Part nightmare, part morality tale, Next Floor, 2008, by Phoebe Greenberg provides a metaphor for society’s excessive consumption. The artist conceived and produced this piece, which was awarded Best Short Film, International Critic’s Week at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, with director Denis Villeneuve and a feature film–scale crew. Greenberg will discuss her process and work, about which she has observed, “in this absurd and grotesque universe, an unexpected sequence of events undermines the endless symphony of abundance.”

Refreshments for Meet the Artist: Phoebe Greenberg are provided by SOVA Espresso & Wine.

Soundry members meet at The Soundry at 5:30 pm to carpool

After the Hirschorn, we will meet our Martinis at Maple Ave restaurant in Vienna and see which is the most interesting:)

Soundry  members can submit their work or project ideas to be discussed and productively critiqued in order to get a better perspective  through constructive, supportive feedback.  Participants can gain a deeper understanding from the submitting artist of their inspiration and techniques.
