Georgia Totti O'Keeffe November 15 March 6 ) was an American artist . She is typically associated with the American Southwest and particularly New Mexico where she settled late in life. O'Keeffe has been a major figure in American art since the 1920s. She is chiefly known for paintings in which she synthesizes abstraction and representation in paintings of flowers, rocks, shells, animal bones and landscapes. Her paintings present crisply contoured forms that are replete with subtle tonal transitions of varying colors, and she often transformed her subject matter into powerful abstract images.

Early life
O'Keeffe was born on November 15, 1887 in a farmhouse on a large dairy farm in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin . Her parents, Francis Calyxtus O'Keeffe and Ida Totto O'Keeffe, were dairy farmers. Ida Totto O'Keeffe's father, George, for whom Georgia was named, was a Hungarian immigrant. Also from one of her parents' side of the family, she is a related to Edward Fuller, one of the passengers of the Mayflower and one of the signers for the Mayflower Compact. O'Keeffe's bloodline connected to Edward Fuller is from his son, Matthew. She was the first girl and the second of seven O'Keeffe children. She attended Town Hall School in Wisconsin and received art instruction from local watercolorist, Sara Mann. She attended high school at Sacred Heart Academy in

Georgia O'Keeffe was born on November 15, 1887, the second of seven children, and grew up on a farm in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. As a child she received art lessons at home, and her abilities were quickly recognized and encouraged by teachers throughout her school years. By the time she graduated from high school in 1905, O'Keeffe had determined to make her way as an artist.
Untitled (Dead Rabbit with Copper Pot) . Shortly thereafter, however, O'Keeffe quit making art, saying later that she had known then that she could never achieve distinction working within this tradition.
Her interest in art was rekindled four years later when she took a summer course for art teachers at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, taught by Alon Bement of Teachers College, Columbia University. Bement introduced O'Keeffe to the then revolutionary ideas of his colleague at Teachers College, artist and art educator Arthur Wesley Dow.
Dow believed that the goal of art was the expression of the artist's personal ideas and feelings and that such subject matter was best realized through harmonious arrangements of line, color, and

See also: American Art Women Artists Alfred Stieglitz at Masters of Photography; "The Georgia O'Keeffe Online Gallery" Text from Jack Cowart, " Georgia O'Keeffe, Art and Letters "O'Keeffe's art refers to determinants, to those things or events that have caused her, provoked her, to create. These necessities obliged her to make art, as she tried to portray sensations, ideas, and situations that for her could be expressed no other way. She wrote to William M. Milliken in 1930, "I see no reason for painting anything that can be put into any other form as well-" To her aesthetic world she was compelled to bring her life and actual experiences, expressed through her direct phenomenological point of view. She leaves us the record of all this in her art. Rarely a strict narrative, her art allows us to remember things she had seen, experienced, or sensed, images grounded in authenticity. She consciously nurtured her memories of events, giving them new life as art. "A phrase O'Keeffe used in a letter to Anita Pollitzer, "Tonight I walked into the sunset". (11 September 1916), is like all of her best art: immediate, concrete, all-encompassing, with a surprising syntax. Sunset is the time when the world appears least structured, when forms tend to dissolve and are replaced by new colors and sensations. O'Keeffe acted to suspend time, producing art that would capture the transient. For example, O'Keeffe made of a flower, with all its fragility, a permanent image without season, wilt, or decay. Enlarged and reconstructed in oil on canvas or pastel on paper, it is a vehicle for pure expression rather than an example of botanical illustration. In her art, fleeting effects of natural phenomena or personal emotion become symbols, permanent points of reference.

Nobody sees a flower, really, it is so small. We haven't time - and to see takes time like to have a friend takes time.
If I could paint the flower exactly as I see it no one would see what I see because I would paint it small like the flower is small. So I said to myself - I'll paint what I see - what the flower is to me but I'll paint it big and they will be surprised into taking time to look at it - I will make even busy New Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers.
...Well, I made you take time to look at what I saw and when you took time to really notice my flower you hung all your own associations with flowers on my flower and you write about my flower as if I think and see what you think and see of the flower - and I don't.

A mong the great American artists of the 20th-century, Georgia O'Keeffe stands as one of the most compelling. For nearly a century, O'Keeffe's representations of the beauty of the American landscape were a brave counterpoint to the chaotic images embraced by the art world. Her cityscapes and still lifes filled the canvas with wild energy that gained her a following among the critics as well as the public. Though she has had many imitators, no one since has been able to paint with such intimacy and stark precision. Teaching in South Carolina was Arthur Dow, a specialist in Oriental Art. Dow's interest in non-European art helped O'Keeffe move away from the forms she had found so stifling in her previous studies. She said of him, "It was Arthur Dow who affected my start, who helped me to find something of my own." Soon after O'Keeffe's return to Texas, she made a handful of charcoal drawings, which she sent to a friend in New York. The friend, Anna Pollitzer, showed them to Alfred Stieglitz,

http://www.lkwdpl.org/wihohio/okee-geo.htm
Georgia O'Keeffe
Extended Profile
BIRTHDATE: Nov. 15, 1887 BIRTHPLACE: Sun Prairie, Wis. EDUCATION: Graduated from the Chatham Protestant Episcopal Institute in Williamsburg, Va. in 1904. Studied art at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League in New York. FAMILY BACKGROUND: Ancestors were from Ireland and Hungary; her family were farmers. She grew up in both Sun Prairie and Williamsburg, Va. DESCRIPTION OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS: The artistic brilliance of Georgia O'Keeffe revolutionized modern art in both her time and in the present. With her paintings she vividly portrayed the power and emotion of objects of nature. This was first seen in her charcoal drawings of silhouetted bud-like forms exhibited in 1916 that brought her fame. During the 1920s , she explored this theme in her magnified paintings of flowers which to this day enchant people amorously, although her purpose was to convey that nature in all its beauty was as powerful as the widespread industrialization of the period. After spending a summer in New Mexico, Georgia O'Keeffe, enthralled by the barren landscape and expansive skies of the desert, would explore the subject of animal bones in her paintings of the 1930s and 1940s. Just as with the flowers, she painted the bones magnified and captured the stillness and remoteness of them, while at the same time expressing a sense of beauty that lies within the desert.

Warning: This page is mangled. Dozens of links are broken, and the Canyon Suite paintings are thought to be a hoax. An updated page will be forthcoming when time permits. In the meantime continue with caution.
Canyon Suite
Twenty-eight recently discovered paintings by Georgia O'Keefe were exhibited for the first time in 1995. These watercolors, known as the Canyon Suite, were painted in 1916 and 1917 when O'Keeffe was the head and sole faculty member of the art department at West Texas State Normal College in Canyon, Texas.
In her centennial exhibition at the National Gallery of Art, 27 of O'Keeffe's early charcoals and watercolors from the 1910s were featured. Michael Bresnan of the New York Times singled out the "tough, delicate works" of 1916-1919 and other critics "succumbed to the power of the Texas paintings marvelling at the startling expanse of light and space that she evokes with a few drops of color on a page." Out of iconoclasm and isolation came invention and, as Bresnan says, "an almost mystical feeling for the union of the human body with the body of the natural world."
Paintings
Fourteen of the watercolors and charcoals from the recently discovered Canyon Suite have been reproduced by the Kemper Museum. In addition, several watercolors and a few oils from 1916-1919 are available:

A tribute to Georgia O'Keeffe blossoms in the desert of New Mexico
When I think of death, I only regret that I will not be able to see this beautiful country anymore ...unless the Indians are right and my spirit will walk here after I am gone.
-Georgia O'Keeffe July 24, 1997
Web posted at: 2:14 p.m. EDT (1814 GMT) By CNN Interactive writer/editor Laurel Shannon (CNN) More than a decade after her death, Georgia O'Keeffe's determined spirit not only lingers in the burnt vistas and striated outcroppings of northern New Mexico, it has found a home. With rosy brown adobe, abundant skylights and white-washed walls, a museum in Santa Fe has synthesized the region's love for O'Keeffe with the painter's love for the landscape. And, if opening weekend was any indication, it's a dynamic combination. The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, unveiled July 17, saw more than 3,000 visitors a day in its first four days. It began charging admission July 22, but director Peter Hassrick says lines remain long. The museum only holds about 200 visitors at a time. "I think (O'Keeffe) would've been pleased with the fact that her art is still appreciated, and I think she would've been very honored by the effort that has gone into making the museum a special place," he says.

Georgia O'keeffe
Georgia O'Keeffe was and is considered one of the greatest female artists of the 20th century. Best known for her still-life paintings, O'Keeffe carved her niche early on with the help of Alfred Stieglitz and his Gallery 291. She painted natural settings at their most basic; large-scale flowers, bones and landscapes. O'Keeffe captured the raw brilliance of nature that only she could see and exposed us to its beauty. While most people may not be as familiar with O'Keeffe as they are with Picasso or van Gogh, we have most certainly, at one time or another, been exposed to her work. She is most notably famous for her paintings of large, oversized flowers. Her first such painting was created in 1924 and gained a good deal of buzz in the art world. What is also unique about O'Keeffe's work is that while she painted nature, landscapes, bones, and city structures, not once did she venture to paint people in all her work. This site offers a bounty of information on Georgia O'Keeffe. You will find the information very direct, with no embellishments, much like O'Keeffe's works, which were painted as they were seen.
