The Art Gallery of Ontario's Georgia O'Keeffe exhibit, opening Saturday, explores six decades of the modern art pioneer's career, including her famous flowers, Alfred Stieglitz's portraits of her and more. She called it "a grand place to paint" in a letter to her partner and mentor, the photographer and modern art champion Alfred Steiglitz. There's no denying that she's a painter from the United States… but this is about a remarkable modern artist in the world." A modern art trailblazer, she set a host of gender-based records. "She's just truly a great artist," agreed Uhlyarik, adding that O'Keeffe resonates because each painting expresses something of herself.
