Who directed the 1977 documentary Georgia O'Keeffe about the artist?

Perry Miller Adato directed the 1977 documentary Georgia O'Keeffe.

The film is a television documentary portrait of the artist and includes an unusually direct view of O'Keeffe speaking about her life and work. It helped bring her artistic ideas and distinctive personality to a broad audience beyond museum visitors and art specialists.

Adato was an American television director and producer known for documentary and arts programming. Her work included portraits of major cultural figures, and the O'Keeffe film belongs to that tradition of biography built around interviews, archival material, and visual documentation.

The documentary should not be confused with later films and television programs about O'Keeffe, including dramatized biographies. Alfred Stieglitz photographed and promoted O'Keeffe but did not direct this documentary, while Ken Burns made a separate documentary about American art history.
