Wanda Corn was driving cross-country with her husband in the summer of 1980 when she stopped in New Mexico to interview 93-year-old painter Georgia O’Keeffe, best known for her oversized flowers and high-desert landscapes. Wanda and Joe Corn had just finished post-doctoral fellowships in Washington, D.C., and were headed to new jobs at Stanford University — she to teach the history of American art, he to lecture in history. Wanda Corn’s 28 years at Stanford were to include many firsts. She filled Stanford’s first appointment in the history of American art. She was one of the first academics to integrate photography and California artists into the history of American art curriculum. She became the first female chair of the art department, and at the same time she became the acting director of the Stanford University Museum of Art, now the Cantor Arts Center.

In 1980, in the only meeting between the pioneering art historian and famous artist, Corn was not thinking about how O’Keeffe dressed, arranged her home or other practices of everyday life, personalised ballet coaster, gift for dancer, gift for ballerina, ballet shoes, gifts for girls, personalised coaster, stocking Corn was gathering information for her groundbreaking work “The Great American Thing: Modern Art and National Identity, 1915–1935.” In that 470-page book, published in 1999 by University of California Press, Corn focused on artworks by O’Keeffe and five of her contemporaries to develop a new vision of the history of American modern art between the two world wars..

Corn’s latest project takes a refreshingly new look at the artist and her life. “Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern,” an exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum through July 23, reveals how the painter fashioned her wardrobe, homes and image. It shows that in dedicating herself to the principle of erasing boundaries between the making of art and the living of life, O’Keeffe created her own myth. When O’Keeffe died in Santa Fe in 1986, she left behind full closets in her Ghost Ranch house and her Abiquiu compound: 50 garments and outfits plus shoes and accessories. Corn learned about this new source of research material in 2001, and brought the trove to public view more than a decade after the project’s conception and following three years of intense research.

“Living Modern” presents O’Keeffe’s wardrobe alongside her paintings and with photographs of her that span 60-some years, The clothing — some items dating back to 1920, some sewn by the artist herself, others designed or ordered by her — form the heart of the exhibition, Fifty of O’Keeffe’s artworks hang near the garments for telling comparisons, Nearly 100 photographic portraits of O’Keeffe show us a woman in possession of her own image, self-consciously dressing in a signature style of simple lines and black and/or white, The portraits start in 1917 with Alfred Stieglitz, the influential photographer and modern art promoter who would become her lover, then husband, They end with a 1984 gelatin silver print by Bruce Weber of O’Keeffe framed by the swirls of her massive, black sculpture “Abstraction.” In the years between, she poses for Paul Strand, Ansel Adams, Yousuf personalised ballet coaster, gift for dancer, gift for ballerina, ballet shoes, gifts for girls, personalised coaster, stocking Karsh, Richard Avedon, Philippe Halsman, Laura Gilpin and many others..

The show is a blockbuster. Public demand for “Living Modern” has required the Brooklyn Museum to issue timed tickets to manage the crowds. The exhibition will travel to the Reynolda House Museum of American Art, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in August, and the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, Massachusetts, in December. A 380-page book accompanies the exhibition and covers the same topics as the show with high-quality photographs of the clothing, reproductions of the art and portraits of O’Keeffe. The “Living Modern” book also provides more enlightening text than one could read while standing in a gallery, including a meaty introduction, five chapters and the epilogue titled “Fashion Muse.” Corn wrote, “This book has focused on the amazing continuity of O’Keeffe’s modernist aesthetic, one that animated her art, her homes, her behavior in front of the camera, and the ways she lived her life. … She belongs not only in the history of 20th-century art but in the history of women, costume, architecture, home decor, gardening, Southwestern culture, and photography.”.

Corn’s own list of accomplishments runs to 11 pages, including academic awards and honors, university and museum experience, essays and papers, She has published 10 books, In 2000, Bryan Wolf, then chair of the American studies program at Yale University, called her a “national resource” and “Ms, American Art History,” and said, “Wanda has become a central senior personalised ballet coaster, gift for dancer, gift for ballerina, ballet shoes, gifts for girls, personalised coaster, stocking figure in ways that are far more extensive than her scholarship and publishing, In fact, she has been the teacher, the mentor, the organizer.”..

Corn played a pivotal role in saving Stanford’s art museum. “Wanda agreed to serve as acting director of the museum while the university searched for a permanent director,” said Mona Duggan, deputy director emerita of Stanford’s Cantor Arts Center. “Just two months later, the [1989 Loma Prieta] earthquake struck, significantly damaging the museum, which had to be closed. For many months, the staff did not know if the museum would ever be allowed to reopen. Because of Wanda’s leadership and diligent lobbying during that critical period, the university’s administration did allow us to continue the search [for a director] and to rebuild and expand the museum.”.

Corn, who is Stanford’s Robert and Ruth Halperin Professor in Art History, Emerita, also gets credit for first envisioning a Stanford arts district, She recalled, “When John Hennessy became president [of Stanford in 2000], he asked me to be a visionary about the arts, … He made the request that I give him an appraisal of personalised ballet coaster, gift for dancer, gift for ballerina, ballet shoes, gifts for girls, personalised coaster, stocking the fine arts, By that, he meant drama, music, dance and, of course, the visual arts, … Later on Hennessy said, ‘you were the first person to articulate the notion of an arts district.’” With the new art department building, Bing Concert Hall and Anderson Collection constructed near the Cantor Arts Center, that arts district is now a reality..
