A Georgia O'Keeffe Retrospective
Painting a New Picture of Georgia O'Keeffe :An exhibit of little-known abstracts attempts to recast the artist's legacy By CANDACE JACKSON SEPTEMBER 3, 2009, 8:56 P.M. ET
Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings of weathered ram skulls, calico roses and adobe buildings are some of the world's most recognizable works of art, but critics have often dismissed her work as commercial, crowd-pleasing fare.
This fall, a new exhibit will attempt to redefine that legacy. The expansive retrospective, which opens at New York's Whitney Museum of American Art on Sept. 17, will focus on O'Keeffe's lesser-known abstract works. The show will eventually travel to the Phillips Collection in Washington and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, N.M. It marks the first major exhibition of her work in New York in more than 20 years.

meet the artist Liam Roberts

By -
Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
