Frank Lloyd Wright and Georgia O'Keeffe: Imagining Wisconsin Landsscapes

  • Museum of Wisconsin Art 205 Veterans Avenue West Bend, WI, 53095 United States (map)

Georgia O’Keeffe (American, 1887–1986). Red Barn in Wheatfield, 1928. Oil on canvas board, 9 x 12 inches. Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, Santa Fe. Gift of the Burnett Foundation

In this illustrated talk, architectural historian Sarah Rovang traces how Georgia O’Keeffe and Frank Lloyd Wright carried the Midwest with them—long after they left it behind. Beginning with their shared Wisconsin origins, Rovang follows the artists through a set of resonant places and ideas that shaped their modernism. A signing of Rovang’s book, Through the Long Desert: Georgia O’Keeffe and Frank Lloyd Wright, will follow.
