In still lifes of vegetables-as in her New Yorks- O'Keeffe explored variations in scale, perspective, and canvas proportions. But despite the breadth of her subject matter, she saw her works as interrelated As a critic noted in 1927, after O'Keeffe began exhibiting her New York paintings, "The point is that all these paintings come from a central stem; and … it keeps on producing new shoots and efflorescences, now through the medium of apples, pears, eggplants, now through leaves and stalks, now in high buildings and sky-scapes, all intensified by abstraction into symbols of quite different significance.”
