GEORGIA O'KEEFFE : ARTIST MISTRESS WHO REVERSED ROLES LATE IN LIFE



Georgia O'Keeffe is an interesting Mistress because, like CoCo Chanel, it seems that when she became a widow and made her fortune, she may have become the one who kept a man (or at least was very generous), a much much younger man, Juan Hamilton, who came to work as a handyman, and turned her onto sculpture.

But first this great American artist, became the mistress of married Alfred Stieglitz. They lived together for 6 years and then married, despite their 23 age difference. After some time, she began to live separate of him in New Mexico. Theirs was a partnership initiated and driven by the fine arts. She sketched and painted and he was a photographer.
