Description


Go behind the scenes at the de Young with the Director of Education and CSB parent, Sheila Pressley. On Friday May 2nd, meet at 6:00 PM for a glass of champagne, then tour the de Young and O’Keeffe exhibition from 6:00 - 8:00 PM. Don’t miss this fun Count Me In with the CSB community shortly before the Georgia O’Keeffe exhibit finishes its run at the de Young! 











Here are more details about the "Modern Nature" show: The exhibition runs only until May 11, 2014. From magnified botanical compositions to panoramic landscapes, the works in this exhibition offer a deeper understanding of the spirit of place that was essential to O'Keeffe's artistic evolution.  From 1918 until the early 1930s, Georgia O'Keeffe retreated annually to Alfred Stieglitz's family estate on Lake George in upstate New York, where she reveled in the discovery of new subject matter and found respite in the rural setting without the distractions of city life. O'Keeffe's experiences there inspired one of the most transformative and productive periods of her career, energizing the development of her signature modernist style.
