Kahlo and O'Keeffe

Last night was a video-a-thon. We watched two one-hour documentaries about Frieda Kahlo and Georgia O'Keeffe. Both were quite good and are about the only thing it appears one can find in the world of movies on women artists. Now I'm starting to wonder if I can find anything in the archives of CBS Sunday Morning show. They often do a few minutes on the arts on Sunday mornings.

Isn't it odd? Hours are given to covering business, the stock market, and if Micheal Jackson loves kids or really really really loves kids :( but the arts? Unless they do the thing where they make fun of the arts (like when Christo and Jean Claude wrap something which I think is wonderful but they think is just odd) you don't see the arts in TV. Not much anyway. And if what you are looking for are stories on women artists then you are really out of luck.

Oh and the documentaries are my an outfit called Home Vision, and it is their Portrait of an Artist series.
