Georgia O’Keeffe is one of the most significant artists of the 20th century, renowned for her contribution to modern art 😊 Born on November 15, 1887, the second of seven children, Georgia Totto O’Keeffe grew up on a farm near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin 🔥 By the time she graduated from high school in 1905, O’Keeffe had determined to make her way as an artist 😎 O’Keeffe studied traditional painting techniques at both the Art Institute of Chicago in Chicago, and New York’s Art Students League. After studying the groundbreaking ideas of Arthur Wesley Dow, four years later her artistic practise changed drastically. Dow offered O’Keeffe an alternative to established ways of thinking about art. While she was teaching art in West Texas, O’Keeffe experimented for 2 years with abstract. She developed her own language through a series abstract charcoal drawings. [1]
O’Keeffe mailed a few of her drawings to Anita Pollitzer, a friend and former classmate, who showed the work to Stieglitz, the influential art dealer. O’Keeffe’s work inspired him and he’s beginning to correspond with her. In 1916, he displayed 10 of her drawings at 291! He refused to stop showing the work, but she confronted her. In 1917, he presented her first solo show. One year later she relocated to New York and Stieglitz discovered a job. Place for her to live other aspects of her life, such as family and work. He even provided financial support to help her focus on her artwork. They’re falling in love after realizing the deep connection between them. Stieglitz, his wife, divorced and O’Keeffe was married in 1924. The couple lived in New York City, and they’re spending the summers at Lake George in New York. This is where Stieglitz’s family owned a house. Mike Ricks, who kindly shared this with us, is to be credited. [2]
Theartstory.org O’Keeffe’s monochromatic early drawings and watercolors that evoke nature’s movement through abstract forms, blue II can also be explained. Although the blue II curvilinear shape is similar to a plant, O’Keeffe played the violin at this time. The form likely captures O’Keeffe’s view of the scroll-shaped neck of her violin. It is possible that O’Keeffe was familiar with Wassily Kadinsky’s idea that visual art like music should express emotion through colorand line. It may be the colorof the music or the mood that it creates. Benjie Brito, San Luis Potosi (Mexico) last updated this page 99 days ago [3]
According to the experts, telegraph.co.uk, tate Modern’s Georgia O’Keeffe retrospective, which opens on Wednesday, is “absolutely the most important international show that’s happened yet for O’Keeffe”, according to Cody Hartley, the director of curatorial affairs at the O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe. The show aims to challenge some assumptions about a painter whose Jimson Weed/White Flower No 1 was sold in 2014 for $44.4 million, a record for a female artist (naysaying the critics, she’s sayingying the flowers in her paintings weren’t about eroticism nor the bones about death). But exhibition visitors will still be missing half the picture of this visionary artist and personality who was one of the 20th century’s most significant pioneers and exponents of Modernism. [4]
