If you are an admirer of the dynamic Georgia O'Keeffe and herfabulous artwork, you won't want to miss the TV movie Georgia
O'Keefe. The talented Joan Allen portrays the artist and Jeremy
Irons is photographer and art impresario Alfred Stieglitz, her
husband. From what I understand, the movie is not a historical
biography, but more a portrait of a complicated marriage. I'm sure
the chemistry between Allen and Irons will sizzle! Tune in tonight,
Saturday, September 19, at 9 pm et/pt, with encores September
20 at 7 pm et/pt and September 22 at 9 pm et/pt on Lifetime.
To create one's own world, in any of the arts,
takes courage.

Georgia O'Keeffe
Hopefully the film will migrate over the Atlantic before too long. I look forward to seeing it.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to see this! I was at the Cleveland Museum of Art last week and saw two of the most magnificent O'Keefe paintings. So, so gorgeous in their new setting in the new wing. I hope that her house in Abiquiu will be shown.
ReplyDeleteLove Georgia O'Keefe - thanks for the "heads-up"....I am out touch but should be back on track in another day. Good to be reading your blog again.
ReplyDeletewillow--this is great info! Can't wait--thanks! C
ReplyDeletethis is something i've been looking forward to watching...
ReplyDeleteI've always loved her work!
ReplyDeleteWish I could.
ReplyDeletePlan to watch. She was a great artist and I've not found anyone to rival her specific talent. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a mini-series could attempt to cover some of the stuff O'Keeffe and Stieglitz did ... The range of things they did - the people they knew, the art that was done ... I'm guessing it will be a show about personalities with just a nod at their accomplishments.
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for this one for quite a while! Looks like it's going to be great... and Irons is always in top form :) Happy weekend, Willow.
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I could watch this movie - TV dramas aren't very big in the UK sadly..
ReplyDeleteI used the same picture for my blog post on O'Keefe - it is very striking isn't it? Desert beauty reflected in a face.
Hope you write about the film afterwards..
Bill, you're absolutely right. A mini series would be fabulous.
ReplyDeleteStieglitz loved O'Keefe for being "a woman on paper"; I love her just for being (having been). If I wrest control of the remote this evening, this will be watched. But I'm glad to know there are other possibilities. Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeletepoemcrazy is floating around here, too. What do you think?
Thanks to your post, I'll be setting my DVR to record the Georgia O'Keefe movie.
ReplyDeleteHello Willow,
ReplyDeleteRegretably, I don't know their works but if your second pic represents a sample of her painting, I like the scale and colour!
I have it marked on my calendar...should be interesting, I am a big Jeremy Irons fan!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know about this-- I have been leaving the TV off this past month because I am tired of the lies and awful behavior in the news, but I will definitely tune in to this one.
ReplyDeletewaw, great post . Love her too.
ReplyDeleteoooohhh, if the artist is a woman it always goes about that!
:)
Thanks for the tip! I love Joan Allen.
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful! Hours of flowers. The details and shading to create the blooms she creates. I really want to see this film. Thanks for the heads up, Willow!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to see this movie. Hope I can find it here.
ReplyDeleteSeeing her work at her museum in Santa Fe this spring was awesome. Thank you the info about the movie,
ReplyDeletei have been so looking forward to this film so am pleased to be reminded that it is on tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteIt's from the same director as 'Coco' so I hope it's not disappointing in any way.
Love O'Keefe's work. And the movie sounds fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI love her work and would like to see this film! I read about her life many years ago - must read the book again.
ReplyDeletewillow
ReplyDeletethanks for the heads up.
i know i will love it.
i am always fascinated by the lives of artists.
and i love jeremy irons!!!
Oh, Willow, I take this as a sign I'm meant to watch this--you are the 3rd person now to make me aware of this! Excellent! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteShe had an enormous influence on me when I was younger. Such devotion to her art and such a singular vision.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the heads up - I will cetainly try to watch.
ReplyDelete"...If you are an admirer of the dynamic Georgia O'Keeffe..."
ReplyDeleteHi! Willow,
I'am a great admirer of artist Georgia O'keeffe.
Therefore, thanks,for sharing the information about the upcoming TV movie...which of course, would have escaped me...because of my lack of television viewing.
Willow said,"From what I understand, the movie is not a historical biography, but more a portrait of a complicated marriage."
Wow, I have read several books about their private life. I guess that it will be interesting too watch how their personally life is depicted on screen.
Thanks, for sharing and I hope that you, have a nice weekend.
DeeDee ;-D
Oops! Typo..I guess that it will be interesting [to] watch how their personally life is depicted...
ReplyDeleteSo timely for me Willow! I needed a bit of permission to press on!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Willow. I can't wait to see this! Love your site.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the info. I do love her work.
ReplyDeletelove the quote. one time i am wishing we had cable, satelite or whatnot.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Willow. This sounds like my kind of movie.
ReplyDeleteOh, poot. I just went looking for it, and it doesn't seem to be coming on here any time soon. I will keep watch for it, though. It sounds fascinating.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't like O'Keefe? Hope i can catch some of this.
ReplyDeleteI need to watch this. I was Georgia O'Keefe two years ago at our Drawing Society Halloween Party....Joan Allen is a wonderful actress and goodness...Jeremy Irons...pitter patter:)
ReplyDeleteO THANK YOU!! I would have missed this as I am so out-of-the-loop with tv and when I DO know, I never remember to watch. I think I can hang on to this for 3&1/2 hrs. Willow. Bo will want to see this, too.
ReplyDeletebreakfast with chipmunks - how fun!! my chippy is not nearly as fearless as the squirrels that hang out at my house.
ReplyDeleteI totally forgot about that lifetime movie - but an sure it will be rebroadcast, had an email this morning from my ma asking if I caught it....she said it was great
o'keefe is great, I wonder if I passe mahala last week at the cma!! haha was gazing at those very paintings saturday afternoon!
I would love to see that and was just reading about it a while ago. I love O Keefe's work.
ReplyDeleteI was always attracted to her work and have now not only seen this movie twice, but I have also moved on to further researching her life. I started with Art and Letters, a wonderful book of letters O'Keeffe wrote to friends and artists and with her paintings to go along with the words.
ReplyDeleteI think you would like it!
