English summary: In her long career as an artist Georgia O'Keeffe
put to the test a range of artistic possibilities and motifs
through often enigmatic pictures. Although her symphonic color
compositions belonged to a classically developed repertoire of the
art of the 20th century, she documented with monumental intensity
the disengagement of American art from the traditions of Europe as
well as the radical emancipation of an artist. Moreover, the
photographs, furnishings, clothing and work materials in this
catalog point to an extraordinary woman, whose life is inextricably
linked with the solitude in the landscapes of New Mexico. In the
photographs of her gallery owner and later husband Alfred Stieglitz
(1864-194) she even found herself as an art object through his
famous photos of her which were considered shockingly erotic at the
time. The facets of her life and work were complimented through the
photography of such artists as Ansel Adams, Todd Webb and Arnold
Newman. The catalog for the exhibit of the Hypo-Kunsthalle Munich
presents an overview of her entire life with a representative
selection of her paintings and works on paper in various techniques
and sculptures. German description: In ihrer langen
Kuenstlerlaufbahn hat Georgia O'Keeffe in oft ratselhaften Bildern
nach der Natur ein wahres Spektrum kuenstlerischer Moglichkeiten
und Motive erprobt. Ihre symphonischen Farbkompositionen gehoren
zum klassisch gewordenen Repertoire der Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts.
Sie dokumentieren mit monumentaler Intensitat die Loslosung der
amerikanischen Kunst von den Traditionen Europas ebenso wie die
radikale Emanzipation einer Kuenstlerin. Darueber hinaus zeigen in
diesem Katalog Fotografien, Mobel, Kleidung und Arbeitsmaterial
eine aussergewohnliche Frau, deren Leben untrennbar mit der
Einsamkeit in den Landschaften New Mexicos verbunden ist. In den
Fotografien ihres Galeristen und spateren Ehemanns Alfred Stieglitz
(1864-1946) fand sie sich selbst als Objekt der Kunst wieder, seine
beruehmten Fotos von ihr wurden seinerzeit als schockierend
erotisch empfunden. Die Facetten ihres Lebens und Schaffens werden
durch Aufnahmen bekannter Fotografen wie Ansel Adams, Todd Webb und
Arnold Newman erganzt. Der Katalog zur Ausstellung der
Hypo-Kunsthalle Muenchen bietet einen Uberblick ueber ihr gesamtes
Schaffen mit einer reprasentativen Auswahl ihrer Gemalde,
Papierarbeiten in verschiedenen Techniken und Skulpturen.
