Women Painter Georgia O'Keeffe

Georgia O'Keeffe was an American painter best known for her large-format paintings of natural forms, especially flowers and bones, and for her depictions of New York City skyscrapers and architectural and landscape forms unique to northern New Mexico. O’Keeffe made significant impact for women painters in an area of the American art community that had been exclusive dominated by men, and became one of America’s most celebrated cultural icons well before her death at age 98 in 1986. She was born November 15, 1887, in a farmhouse near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.  Photo titile: Ram's Head White Hollyhock and Little Hills, 1935
