Topic

Georgia and the Butch

Description

FREE online dramatic readings from the letters between Georgia O'Keeffe and Maria Chabot, 1941-1949. Produced by the Southwest Harbor Public Library.

Who was the butch who took Georgia O'Keeffe camping in the mountains of New Mexico, who was her self-described "handyman," who was the designer/general contractor/builder for her internationally renowned house in Abiquiu-- and who never charged for her labor?

And why has she been written out of history?

Letters read by Ria T. DiLullo and Gael Schaefer. Narrated by Carolyn Gage.

SPECIAL GUEST: Zibby Wilder, the great-great niece of Maria Chabot, who is writing her biography! She will be joining us for the talk-back!
