Description

Georgia O’Keeffe, the “Mother of American Modernism,” revolutionized art with her bold and innovative works that celebrated the beauty of nature and abstraction. Born in 1887 in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, O’Keeffe defied artistic conventions with her striking compositions, including her iconic paintings of enlarged flowers, New Mexico landscapes, and New York skyscrapers. This biography explores her artistic journey, her groundbreaking solo exhibitions, and her relationship with photographer Alfred Stieglitz, who played a pivotal role in promoting her work. O’Keeffe’s move to the desert landscapes of New Mexico inspired some of her most powerful creations, which reflected her deep connection to nature and the American Southwest. Her pioneering spirit, dedication to her craft, and ability to merge realism and abstraction made her one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. This book honors her legacy as a visionary artist who redefined modern art and inspired generations with her unique perspective and creative mastery.
