Timeline  by Dr. Amy M. Von Lintel

This timeline was authored by Dr. Amy M. Von Lintel, Associate Professor of Art History at West Texas A&M University. It is a companion to her article "'The Little Girl of the Texas Plains': Georgia O’Keeffe’s Panhandle Years," Panhandle-Plains Historical Review 85 (2014): 21-56. Dr. Von Lintel’s chronology focuses primarily on the years Georgia O’Keeffe lived and worked in West Texas, with a particular emphasis on direct quotations from O'Keeffe's period letters and interviews with her Texas students.

Dr. Von Lintel is also the author of two books focusing on Georgia O'Keeffe during some of her time in Texas before 1920:

  • Watercolors: 1916-1918 / Georgia O'Keeffe.
  • Georgia O'Keeffe's Wartime Texas Letters.

Biography of Dr. Von Lintel.

Georgia O'Keeffe in Canyon by Dr. Fred Stoker

thumbnail of cover

Dr. W.M. "Fred" Stoker joined the faculty of WTAMU in 1958. He was a professor of Education at the university until his retirement in 1985. A prolific writer, Stoker wrote a 44-page booklet summarizing the time that Georgia O'Keeffe lived in Canyon, from 1916 to early 1918.

Stoker wrote his account seventy-one years after O'Keeffe left Canyon, researching all the information that was available at the time. While able to interview only one person with first-hand knowledge about O'Keeffe in Canyon, Stoker included only anecdotes that, while perhaps apocryphal, seemed entirely plausible.

You may read the blend of facts and local stories in Georgia O'Keeffe in Canyon , courtesy of Dr. Fred Stoker. It may be found within the library at N 6537 .O39 S76 1990.
