Atlanta (February 4, 2008) SmartSamantha.com, the source for innovative resources giving you the business smarts you need to succeed, will sponsor “Georgia O’Keeffe and the Women of the Stieglitz Circle” at the High Museum of Art Atlanta. Each of the artists represented in “Georgia O’Keeffe and the Women of the Stieglitz Circle” embodied Alfred Stieglitz’s philosophy of the woman modernist, through their lives and their distinctive forms of artistic expression.
“Georgia O’Keeffe is one of the most iconic and highly-regarded artists of the 20th-century,” said Michael E. Shapiro, Nancy and Holcomb T. Green, Jr. Director, High Museum of Art. “This innovative exhibition will provide new insight into her work in the context of her less-examined predecessors in Stieglitz’s circle, and will introduce audiences to the groundbreaking role these women played in paving the way for future generations of artists.”
Christine Timme, CEO of SmartSamantha commented, “We are proud to sponsor this exhibit, which celebrates bold women whose talent, creativity and hard work laid the groundwork for growing recognition and respect for women artists.” Timme is not new to supporting the work of women artists; she is also CEO of FinListics® Solutions, sponsor of the successful 2007 exhibit, “Cecilia Beaux: American Figure Painter.”
