My entry on O'Keeffe in 150 STORIES led me to the research I discuss in the talk.

Thrilled to see Mary Callery’s 1946 bronze sculpture “Acrobats: Study for a Monument” today at the Grey Art Museum. The open spaces, sinuous rhythm, and fused female figures are transporting. From the back, the figures appear androgynous. Sculpture in storage.

Juan Hamilton and Georgia O'Keeffe's relationship compels analysis. Friendships with close women friends that O'Keeffe maintained for many years were severed because of her involvement with Hamilton. Hamilton also withheld archival documents from scholars until 2020, when he auctioned them off.

Painter Hilda Belcher's portrait of painter Tony Nell. ca. 1910-1920s. "Our pictures--Tony's and mine--were both accepted by the American Water color Society; we've all been patting Tony on the back, as it will be her first exhibition." (Belcher Family Archive, with permission)

Antonia (Tony) Nell (1881-1960) was another student artist living at the same boarding house as Georgia O'Keeffe. One of her paintings is currently exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Gallery 773).

Excited to be presenting new work about Georgia O'Keeffe's first year in NYC when she was a student at the Art Students League at #CAA113. While living in a Ladies Christian Union boarding house, O'Keeffe posed for Hilda Belcher, who was launching her career and later taught at the League.

Learning more and more about artist Hilda Belcher (1881-1963) who was acquainted with Georgia O'Keeffe when they both lived at The Eva in NYC, a boarding house run by the Women's Christian Union. Yet another important woman in O'Keeffe's formative years. @okeeffemuseum.bsky.social

This is an apt depiction of what it must have been like for women to be art students at The Students League of NY in 1908.
From the 1908 Fakirs Catalogue. The Fakirs were an irreverent student group that parodied current artists and their art works and raised money for League scholarships.
