Ida O'Keeffe
by Dr. Jann Haynes Gilmore
Ida Ten Eck O’Keeffe, the younger sister of the well-known artist Georgia O'Keeffe, who was also a painter, has only recently been acknowledged by a major museum with a solo exhibition. Dr. Gilmore explores the life of Ida, the artistically talented sister, and the O'Keeffe family dynamics which prevented her work from becoming well known during her lifetime.
