Despite Georgia O’Keeffe’s insistence that her paintings of flowers were just flowers, they have always been interpreted as containing explicit sexual symbolism. Georgia O’Keeffe was more than just flowers. She painted cityscapes, nature, animal skulls, and her beloved New Mexico. Throughout her life she struggled with being pigeon-holed – not only as a painter of suggestive paintings, but as a ‘female artist’ or as the ‘wife’ of the photographer and art dealer Alfred Stieglitz. This talk explores how she overcame these prejudices and went from being a Midwestern farm girl to becoming the first woman to have one-woman shows at major art museums. Come along and explore the varied work and fascinating life of this determined and driven ‘Mother of Modernism’, Georgia O’Keeffe. ‘Without sacrificing scholarship, Stella Grace Lyons has a most engaging way of hooking an audience into sharing her passionate interest in art history, drawing three dimensional human stories and experiences from the two-dimensional canvas' - Maev Kennedy, Guardian Arts Correspondent Following the talk, please stay for tea and delicious homemade cake, served in the Pavilion’s beautiful Gallery. Sgwrs Hanes Celf – Georgia O'Keeffe, 'Mwy na Blodau' Dyddiad: Dydd Mawrth 8 Hydref 2024 Amseru: 2.00pm ar gyfer y Ddarlith, wedyn Te a Theisen yn Oriel y Pafiliwn am 3pm (drysau’n agor am 1.30pm) Lleoliad: Pafiliwn Pier Penarth Tocyn(nau): £15.50 y pen (+ ffi archebu) - Mae pris y tocyn yn cynnwys te a theisen Ymunwch â ni fis Hydref i glywed sgwrs ddiddorol y ddarlithwraig hanes celf o fri, Stella Grace Lyons, ar Georgia O’Keefe. Er gwaethaf honiad Georgia O'Keeffe mai blodau yn unig oedd ei phaentiadau o flodau, maent bob amser wedi cael eu dehongli fel rhai sy'n cynnwys symbolaeth rywiol benodol. Roedd Georgia O'Keeffe yn fwy na blodau. Peintiodd ddinasluniau, byd natur, penglogau anifeiliaid, a'i New Mexico annwyl. Trwy gydol ei bywyd brwydrodd yn erbyn cael ei neilltuo i ddiffiniadau penodol – nid yn unig yn beintiwr paentiadau awgrymiadol, ond yn 'artist benywaidd' neu’n 'wraig' y ffotograffydd a'r gwerthwr celf, Alfred Stieglitz. Mae'r sgwrs hon yn archwilio sut y goresgynnodd y rhagfarnau hyn a sut aeth o fod yn ferch fferm canolbarth UDA i fod y fenyw gyntaf i gynnal sioeau un fenyw mewn amgueddfeydd celf mawr. Dewch draw i archwilio gwaith amrywiol a bywyd diddorol 'Mam Moderniaeth' benderfynol a llawn cyffro hon, Georgia O'Keeffe. ‘Heb aberthu ysgolheictod, mae Stella Grace Lyons yn defnyddio dull deniadol o ennyn diddordeb cynulleidfa i rannu ei brwdfrydedd dros hanes celf, gan dynnu straeon a phrofiadau dynol tri dimensiwn allan o’r cynfas dau ddimensiwn’ - Maev Kennedy, Gohebydd Celfyddydau The Guardian Yn dilyn y sgwrs, arhoswch i gael te a theisen gartref flasus, wedi'u gweini yn Oriel hardd y Pafiliwn.
