"Sometimes a flower is just a flower."
In this clever piece, O'Keeffe learns that Freud does not belong in the art studio.
With Freud's constant insistences about O'Keeffe's paintings, despite O'Keeffe's negations of his theories, Hall has managed to capture the frustration of misinterpretation and over-analysis in art. Plus, the moment when Freud goes to sleep and O'Keeffe has a moment to fully explain her true inspiration (which differs largely from the psychologist's assumptions) is absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking. This play gets me fired up. It's really interesting and smart...
