Georgia O'Keeffe
1887-1986
Famous for her stunning combination of technique and vision, her brilliant colors and simplicity of form, O'Keeffe was one of the great contemporary American artists. She broke all the rules for women artists of her time with the boldness of her paintings and her dedication to her art. Today she is best known for her precisely painted, highly stylized studies of southwest desert landscapes and natural objects, flowers, birds, and bones, the "beautiful shapes," she once said, "that I see in my mind."
