A Celebration of Music and Dance
Elements of music and dance found in O'Keeffe's work have never before been explored -- until now. Shifting the focus away from sexual symbolism and specific thematic imagery, Katherine Hoffman brings to light the melodies and rhythms of O'Keeffe's imagery. She discusses the importance of O'Keeffe's milieu, where other visual artists were also experimenting with musical and dance elements, and fully details the influence of such artists as Kandinsky, Rodin, and Isadora Duncan.The intersection of the visual arts, music, and dance, is a rich one; discovering the presence of these elements in O'Keeffe's work adds new levels of meaning and enjoyment to her paintings.
