Geogia O'Keeffe: The Secrets of Her Success Part 7
VI. Conclusion
Georgia O’Keeffe was an amazing woman and a remarkable artist. She was able to break through all of the bearers and biases against women and become one of the most admired, recognized, and successful American artists of the twentieth century. She was courageous, persistent, and unique. She was willing to work hard, think for herself and break the rules.
In 1938, at the age of fifty, Georgia O’Keeffe was awarded an honorary degree from the College of William and Mary. O’Keeffe made two observations about this award. First, it was ironic because both of her brothers had attended the college, but she was unable to do so as a female. Second, “She found it humorous . . . since her spelling had not improved” (Gherman 35).
I hope that you've enjoyed reading this seven part series "Georgia O'Keeffe: The Secrets of Her Success." I thoroughly enjoyed researching the life and art of O'Keeffe. It also gave me an excuse to spend hours looking through books containing photographs of her work.
