 Anita Rodriguez Video (4min 0sec) of artist Anita Rodriguez discussing her art, imagery, life and how being familiar with death can make your life richer. "The subject matter sort of just emerges on it's own sometimes and there are a lot of different things happening. But one of the things that has always interested me, I've always been hung up on third-world wall paper. Ya know like really bright, kind of tacky wall paintings. And the wall paper has become transparent. And landscapes have begun to appear behind the wall paper. Doors open up into improbable rooms. That's really interesting to me. Then the wallpaper has begun to become so transparent that it's like cut glass windows. Then it has become sort of like this interconnecting web that unites the subject matter on both sides of the wallpaper. Makes me curious. Sometimes I start painting things and then years later somebody else will say, 'you know what that reminds me of?' Because we don't always understand our own work fully..." |

 Georgie O'Keeffe A video (5min 5sec) look at the life and artistic brilliance of Georgia O'Keeffe. Ranked among the vanguard of modern art, her paintings vividly portrayed the power and emotion of objects of nature. During the 1920s, she explored this theme in her paintings of flowers. Her purpose was to convey that nature in all its beauty was as powerful as the widespread industrialization of the period.
After spending a summer at Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu, New Mexico, she began a life-long love affair with the area. Enthralled by the barren landscape and expansive skies she explored these subjects in her paintings. Just as with the flowers, she painted the desert area magnifying and capturing the stillness and remoteness, while expressing a sense of beauty that lies within the desert. Her paintings have become synonymous with Ghost Ranch, introducing the area to the rest of the world. |
