Surrealistic Emotions - Tribute to Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) by Daniel Arrhakis (2020)
Georgia Totto O'Keeffe (November 15, 1887 – March 6, 1986) was an American artist.
She was known specially for her paintings of enlarged flowers, New York skyscrapers and New Mexico landscapes. O'Keeffe has been recognized as the "Mother of American Modernism".
She began to study painting seriously in 1905, at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and later at the Art Students League of New York.
In 1908, unable to pay for college, she started working as an illustrator and between 1911 and 1918 she taught in Virginia, Texas and South Carolina. She managed to take a summer course to study art between 1912 and 1914, where she met philosophy of Arthur Wesley Dow, painter, art teacher and photographer.
Georgia moved to New York in 1918, where she started to work professionally as an artist. She started a relationship with the photographer and art dealer, Alfred Stieglitz, who promoted many of her works in exhibitions. He would become her husband in 1924. Georgia produced a lot of abstract art, including close-up on flowers, paintings that many saw as reproductions of the female genitalia. Much of her reputation for representing female sexuality also came from photographs taken of Georgia by her husband.
Influenced by Auguste Rodin, Wassily Kandinsky, Frida Kahlo
however it marked art with a very unique style that together with artists like Charles Demuth Charles Sheeler originated the artistic movement Precisionism, the first indigenous modern art movement in the United States and an early American contribution to the rise of Modernism.
The galleries of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum honor the artist’s achievements and her continuing legacy. Her story is presented in nine galleries tracing a journey that spans the twentieth century and the rise of American Modernism.
