Georgia O’Keeffe was one of the most successful artists of the 20th century. For more than 70 years, O’Keeffe shaped her public persona, and carved out a truly progressive, independent life in order to create her art. In her intimate paintings of flowers, her desert landscapes, and stark white cow skulls, she applied techniques usually reserved for the camera lens. But behind her work was a woman who lived and painted according to her own original vision.
