Women Powered Art in North Carolina

Posted on by da-AL

Great art, impressive art, and terrific art! That — though foremost the wonderfulness of spending time with our dear friend in North Carolina — defines the marvelous visit that my husband and I had. In this post, I explained how we had the good fortune to catch an exhibition at the North Carolina Museum of Art that featured work by the enormously influential American artist, Georgia O’Keeffe. (And here and then here I tell about another wing and more of the museum, plus here I tell about NC’s Chinese Lantern Festival.) In addition to her art, the show featured works inspired by O’Keeffe…

Happiness Between Tails speaks to and from the heart. It connects lovers — of pets, authors, books — and of my still-unreleased novels, “Flamenco + the Sitting Cat” and “Tango + the Sitting Cat.” The stories are my love letters to all who fear they're too odd, too damaged, too old, too whatever to find happiness.

  4. You really are on an art spree, how wonderful! I like “The Bridge” and “LA curbed” best out of the above.

    When I was young I was very much impressed by Gauguin, especially his development from Breton paintings to South Sea paintings. And my favourite always was Franz Marc, whose development finally ended in spiritual, transcendent paintings.
    But there are lots of other painters whose work I like, also street artists … 😉 … I do like Jeremy Mann’s paintings. As a contrast to that I like the Jugendstil paintings of the Czech artist Mucha.

  5. Hm, Table Setter seems to me to be more inspired by Matisse and Gauguin than O’Keeffe. As for the rest, I’m not sure I see connections or relationships but then I’m not getting to read the captions either. Still. I find the art interesting on its own merit.

    1. I agree, Sharon – like fitting square pegs into round holes – but still worth seeing. the whole time, I thought would have been better if they’d tweaked the show’s theme…
