Georgia O’Keeffe

Georgia O’Keeffe was an American painter, famous for her Abstract flower paintings and nature themed compositions. She is considered to be one of the greatest painters of the 20th century, let alone one of the greatest female artists to ever have lived. She was famous for painting magnified, large scale images of flowers as well as shells, leaves, bones and landscapes of New Mexico.

Of her flower paintings O'Keeffe wrote in 1926,

"I have painted what each flower is to me and I have painted it big enough so that

others would see what I see."

Red Poppy was painted in 1927, this is one of a series of monumental flower paintings O'Keeffe made. O'Keeffe was a loner who spent most of her life in isolation in the desert Southwest.
