Washington film premiere

Georgia O’Keeffe is widely revered as the mother of American modernism and one of the greatest woman artists of the 20th century. O’Keeffe became famous in the 1920s for her paintings of flowers, bones, and the beauty of nature, but she denied the widespread belief that her paintings depicted sexual imagery. In the 1970s, living in her beloved New Mexico, she emerged as an iconic role model and powerful advocate of women’s rights. (Paul Wagner, 2025, DCP, 120 minutes)
