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.

With unprecedented access to O’Keeffe’s groundbreaking body of work and voiced with poignancy and power by Claire Danes as Georgia O’Keeffe and narrated by Hugh Dancy, this spellbinding film offers an in-depth, cinematic, and fresh portrait of the artist known as the "Mother of Modernism." Directed by Academy-Award and Emmy Winner Paul Wagner, the film features contributions from the world’s leading experts on O’Keeffe, as well as personal letters between O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz, brought to life through voiceover and archival imagery. From her early struggles and artistic awakenings to her rise as a feminist icon and cultural force, The Brightness of Light is a journey through love, loss, and the radical independence that shaped O’Keeffe’s art and her legend. With the cooperation of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum.
