Bone Wind Fire
Description
Bone Wind Fire is an intimate and evocative journey
into the hearts, minds and eyes of Georgia O'Keeffe, Emily Carr and Frida
Kahlo—three of the 20th century's most remarkable artists. Georgia O'Keeffe
lived and painted in the sun-baked clarity of the American Southwest; Emily
Carr in the lush jungled green of the BC rainforests; and Frida Kahlo in the
hot and dusty clamour of Mexico City. Each woman had her own response to her
environment, to the people that surrounded her and to the artistic or
practical challenges she faced in wringing beauty and truth from her
particular time and place. Bone Wind Fire uses the
women's own words, taken from their letters and diaries, to reveal three
individual creative processes in all their subtle and fascinating variety. In
thirty carefully prepared and creatively photographed minutes, the film
captures the view through the artists' eyes.
