 "One day seven years ago I found myself saying.. I can't live where I want to -- I can't go where I want to go -- I can't do what I want to -- I can't even say what I want to... 

"I decided I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to."

        Georgia O'Keeffe, 1923

"Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time - we haven't time - 
and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time."        Georgia O'Keeffe

...quoted in The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron.
"I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me...shapes and ideas so near to me...so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down..."

         from biography on Ellen's Place site
Georgia O'Keeffe reportedly wrote: "Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant -- there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing -- and keeping the unknown always behind you."

"Georgia O'Keeffe is much more extraordinary than even I had believed -- In fact I don't believe there has ever been anything like her -- Mind and feeling very clear -- spontaneous -- & uncannily beautiful -- absolutely living every pulse beat."

photographer Alfred Stieglitz

"O'Keeffe.. expressed herself eloquently through her hands, 
and Stieglitz recognized their emotive potential." 
[quotes from getty.edu exhibition]

Georgia O'Keeffe

"This 1977 documentary was produced toward the end of O'Keeffe's life, at a time when the artist was at one with her art and her life. The hour-long film plays mainly off of O'Keefe's own words; there is no narrator's voice, there is barely an interviewer's voice. O'Keeffe speaks alone..."
