I came away with the impresison of a long, productive life, but felt as though I had acquired more factual knowledge about the artist than understanding of her. Go to Full Review Leslie Combemale AWFJ.org May 31

Georgia O’Keeffe: The Brightness of Light does not bring anything new to the table if you haven’t already skimmed through the artist’s Wikipedia page. But it is an insightful look at the legacy of an artist who refused to settle. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Randy T @RandyMT May 25 This extremely powerful, deliberating documentary explores the art, life and witness of an American Master. The film combines an exquisitely crafted narrative --much of which is taken from O'Keeffe's own writing and letters, beautifully given voice by Claire Danes-- breathtaking cinematography especially of the landscapes O'Keeffe painted, and thoughtful analyses of O'Keeffe's life/artistic life by leading O'Keeffe scholars. There are moments of poignance and grace throughout, and viewers can look forward to a profound aesthetic, if not spiritual, experience. See more Read all reviews
