Georgia O'Keeffe in Texas

[BlueSquirrel]

I am looking for information about Georgia O'Keeffe's time in Texas. She lived and taught art in Amarillo and Canyon during the early 20th century. I've been researching this for a while now. Any additional information would be appreciated.

Here are the details that I have:

1912-1914 Supervisor of drawing and penmanship with the City Public School of Amarillo, Texas

Magnolia Hotel on Polk Street

1916-1918 West Texas State Normal College in Canyon, Texas

500 20th Street, home of D. A. Shirley

1905 4th Street, Hudspeth House

1918 Recuperating from influenza in Waring and San Antonio

Oaks Ranch or The Oaks in Waring, TX

Hotel Lanier in San Antonio

Cafe del Rio in San Antonio

Thanks

Blue Squirrel: I attended West Texas State U. in Canyon (now West Texas A&M) and recall several O'Keeffe exhibits at the Panhandle-Plains Historic Museum on the campus. I also recall driving out to Palo Duro Canyon and seeing and old house that she used or lived in that is now used to house O'Keeffe memoribilia, I believe.

I'd check with the folks at the Panhandle-Plains Historic Museum to get better info. I'm relying on my feeble memory. Canyon is a nice place to visit ... as well as live.

I think the Amarillo Art Museum (part of Amarillo College?!?!) has a couple of her paintings, and they would probably be a good resource for time-in-the-Panhandle information as well.
