Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) was a prominent figure in modern American art for over seven decades. What set her apart was her unwavering dedication to her unique vision, which was rooted in her profound appreciation for the essential and abstract forms found in nature. O'Keeffe's primary subjects were landscapes, flowers, and bones, which she explored in numerous series over the years. Some of her works continued to evolve, resulting in 12 or more variations of an original image. Among these, her magnified pictures of calla lilies and irises are undoubtedly her most famous. By enlarging the tiniest petals to fill an entire canvas, O'Keeffe created a proto-abstract vocabulary of shapes and lines, earning her the esteemed title of "mother of American modernism." In 1946, O'Keeffe achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first female artist to receive a solo show at the prestigious MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) in New York. This introductory book from TASCHEN Basic Art 2.0 takes readers on a journey through O'Keeffe's remarkable career, showcasing key paintings, contemporary photographs, and portraits captured by Alfred Stieglitz, her husband. We follow the artist through her pioneering innovations, significant breakthroughs, and her travels and inspirations in Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East, and, most notably, New Mexico, where she found profound inspiration in the majestic landscapes, vibrant colors, and exotic vegetation.
