Geogia O’keeffe is famous for her vibrant colorful paintings, mostly flowers, landscape, objects in nature… No one can be untouched when looking at O’keeffe’s paintings. Ansel Adams is a great photographer of the nature and wildness. His black and white phtotos are stunningly powerful to express this artist’s insight of the nature. Despite the different styles and two unique ways to capture the essense of natural beauty and the 15-year age gap between these two American’s best-known artists, they developed a lifelong friendship.
The SF MOMA is now having the special exhibition for the art works from the two - Georgia O’Keeffe and Ansel Adams, Natural Affinities. It was such an joyful experience for me to be exposed to those precious and inspiring art works. This painter and this photographer have their own distinctive visions of the natural world, yet they share the same admiration to the beauty.
There are also site specific installation and woodcut prints from Ranjani Shettar, an Indian artis; Robert Frank’s “The Americans” photography, that reveals the life of Americans beyond the polished surface; Between Art and Life: the contemporary painting and scupture collection, etc.
If you go to San Francisco, go visit MOMA, it got those amazing exhibitions that you don’t want to miss.
