She took up acting because the malnutrition she suffered under the nazis permanently damaged her health and prevented her from pursuing her dream to be a ballerina. During the war, she danced to raise money for the resistance - even though she was literally starving, she used what strength she had to make sure more nazis got shot.
She and her mom also denounced their royal heritage because of the Nazis in their family
Also Audrey was a humanitarian until her death, though ill with cancer, she continued her work for UNICEF, travelling to Somalia, Kenya, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, France and the United States.
These are things I literally never would have known about. I’m tired of women being painted as just being pretty.
I’M SO HAPPY TO SEE HER AT AN OLDER AGE I SWEAR!
Here’s another nice one.
For the longest time I assumed she had died really young because I never saw any pictures of her at an older age. She was an amazing woman.
its really hard for me to see the kids in here as kids sometimes, maybe its because they are more mature than Actual Kids I’ve Worked With, maybe its because they are restrained and fearful, or because they know things i dont know. maybe its because im not a part that deals with them regularly, idk. its something i need to work on, they deserve to feel safe within their age and not have expectations placed upon them when they are clearly dealing with things deep inside themselves.
“Ice Cave” by Georgia O’Keeffe and a photograph of an ice cave.
yeah Georgia? that’s an ice cave ? that’s a god damn ice cave? that’s the only thing you intended to paint? that’s it? just an ice cave?
all of georgia okeefes art is like this dont act surprised
It Really Is.
Staff seeing this:
i hate to ruin everyone’s fun BUT you guys are so annoying. georgia o’keeffe very specifically stated how much she hated it when people, especially men, sexualized her art. male art critics pushed the interpretation of her artwork as sexual onto her and it upset her VERY deeply:
“When people read erotic symbols into my paintings they’re really talking about their own affairs,” O’Keeffe said. Still, the sexualized misconceptions of her work devastated her. “I almost wept,” she wrote of one review in 1921.
now, because of some immature dudes in the art community, her work has been sexualized forever, and her paintings are now sexual objects. so like…making pussy jokes about her artwork isn’t just annoying, it’s disrespectful to everything she worked for, and it’s like rubbing her legacy in her face.
The male gaze really be like that sometimes huh?
I’m a woman and I saw a pussy.
Same
Those 100% look like vaginas and nothing will convince me otherwise.
Another girl here. Yep, them be vaginas
I think it’s less “immature males” and more immature people in general
