Georgia O'Keeffe(November 15, 1887 – March 6, 1986)是美國近代女畫家,
以花卉繪畫最有名,相信大家都曾經在網路或筆記本明信片上看到過。


Georgia O'Keeffe  
前幾天發現有她的傳記電影,
還入圍了2010年金球獎最佳電視電影及最佳男女主角等三項提名,
特地找來看想藉該片快速了解她的生平。
但電影主軸放在Georgia O'Keeffe和攝影師Alfred Stieglitz(也是大她23歲的丈夫)的關係,
從兩人相識到Stieglitz和結婚25年的妻子離婚,
兩人度過一段甜蜜婚姻,Stieglitz也如同培植小草般促成O'Keeffe成名,
但在O'Keeffe年齡漸長,日顯獨立堅毅之後,
Stieglitz勾搭上年輕的畫廊贊助女金主,
O'Keeffe為此非常痛苦,分分合合,終於在某次作畫時情緒崩潰,因而住院治療。
經過18個月,O'Keeffe才再次拿起畫筆,
也決定就在新墨西哥州長住,離開Stieglitz以保有自己。

本來期待電影中有更多Georgia O'Keeffe自己,
主題放在她跟Stieglitz的感情似乎有點弱化了她。
但女主角Joan Allen演得很好,
一些Georgia O'Keeffe的獨白也唸得非常到位,
那些獨白的段落大概是全片我最喜歡的部分。

附上在經過18個月才再次提起畫筆時的獨白(我邊聽邊記下來的,不知道有沒有錯...):
It's taking  me nearly 18 months to begin to try to paint again. 
And this time, so many things have turned over in me and come out clear to me. 
I feel like a reed blown about by the winds of my habits, my affections, things that I am. 
And I find myself moving more and more to a kind of aloneness.
Not because I wish so, but because it seems no other way.
No other way if I am to be what I need to  be.
I must be apart now, I see that now.
It's clear to me that we can not meet each other's need,
and I must admit that there is some strange sense of relief you have someone else
to care for you in a way that is impossible for me.
I still miss you terribly, even though I glad to be gone, to  be alone.  

下面這張是年輕時的O'Keeffe,一樣是由丈夫Stieglitz拍攝,
相較之下,中老年的她真的堅毅許多:
