I have a female relative who dedicated her life to her gift and her first love, painting. She was married when she was young for a short while. Then divorced and never remarried. She never had children, but she devoted her life to teaching others and to sharing her artistic talents. She still does this to this day, and she's in her 70s. She is a very open and tolerant person. However, she never had or was in a lesbian relationship to my knowledge, but she has interesting friends all over the globe. Not that it would matter to me if she were to choose to be in a relationship with another female since I love her so much. She is just a terrific person who dedicated her life to her art, really.

I wouldn't put O Keefe in such a category..She had some interesting relationships in her personal life but she wasn't in a gay relationship or lifestyle.She was just being a Human Being...loving of different people and understanding them.. Artist like her and Frieda Have been placed in that category and it's not what there relationships were about. Yes both her and her companion Jaun Hamilton a potter she met in 1973, were rumored to have external affairs and interest but she was more of a nurturing woman who cared about her students and friends. She was not married.....There are no accounts of O Keefe being a lesbian. And where would you get this ideas she was married? She was alone most of her life except for her family and her close friends. When she died she left her entire estate to Jaun which created one of the greatest battles in court over who had the rights to her work....

O'Keefe was married for decades to the photographer Alfred Steiglitz, but they both had extramarital affairs, he with women and she with men and women.

If her talent displayed lesbian tendencies, I'd like to know how. Sure she painted flowers with great detail and intensity, but I don't believe she was illustrating her sexual preferences.

It is a grey area but she admitted that many of her works celebrated the,uh,female flower that she was enraptured by.

Would her paintings look different to you if she was?
