Georgia O’Keeffe: The Brightness Of Light - Directors Paul Wagner & Producer Ellen Casey Wagner

Georgia O’Keeffe is widely revered as the “Mother of American Modernism” and the greatest woman artist of the 20th century. In the 1920s, O’Keeffe became famous for her paintings of flowers, bones, and the beauty of nature. She posed nude for shocking photographs by her lover, Alfred Stieglitz, but denied that her paintings depicted sexual imagery. In the 1970s, living in her beloved New Mexico, she emerged as an iconic role model for American women. Cargo Film & Releasing announced that it has acquired North American distribution rights to Georgia O’Keeffe: The Brightness Of Light, about the life and art of the iconic American artist, starring Claire Danes as the Voice of Georgia O’Keeffe with narration by actor Hugh Dancy. Cargo will release the film theatrically for special screenings on and around Mother’s Day this May, with a nationwide digital launch set for June 1. Produced and directed by Academy Award and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Paul Wagner (The Stone Carvers) and his American Focus producing partner Ellen Casey Wagner (Windhorse).
