La Florista - The Florist


 
Late afternoon in our Kerrisdale home - Philippe Halsman's photograph of Georgia O'Keefe


La Florista - Eduardo Galeano



Georgia O’Keefe vivió pintando, durante casi un siglo, y pintando murió.

Sus cuadros alzaron un jardín en la soledad del desierto.



Las flores de Georgia , clítoris, vulva, vaginas, pezones, ombligos, eran los cálices de una misa de acción de gracias por la alegría de haber nacido mujer.




The Florist



Georgia O’Keefe lived painting, during almost a century and painting she died.


Her paintings raised a garden in the solitude of the desert.



Georgia’s flowers, clitorises, vulvas, vaginas, nipples, belly buttons, were the chalices of a Thanksgiving Mass for the joy of having been born a woman.
