Georgia O'Keeffe

Georgia Totto O'Keeffe (November 15, 1887, to March 6, 1986) was an American modernist painter, known as "Mother of American modernism". Her paintings are famous for enlarged flowers, New York skyscrapers, and New Mexico landscapes.

Georgia O'Keeffe is a pioneering artist who used her unique vision to flip a traditional form of painting on its head. Although flower painting has been practiced for centuries, no one has ever done it exactly like O'Keeffe. Her zoomed-in images of flowers have remained unique throughout history, as she was one of the first American painters to make abstract drawings. At a period when modern art was mostly centered in New York City, O'Keeffe's spectacular artwork helped attract attention to a new part of the country.
