How Artists See Nature:
As the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame hosts the temporary exhibit, Georgia O’Keeffe and the Faraway, the different aspects of artist interpretation of nature becomes evident. Photographers such as Ansel Adams and Elliot Porter also shared O’Keeffe’s appreciation of nature as they captured unique scenery through the camera lens instead of paint and palette. Join us as we explore how O’Keeffe and others found ways to share their work and inspiration through various forms of art mediums.
