Georgia O Keeefe Abstract

Decent Essays
Georgia O’Keefe was an artist that painted flowers, skeletons, and beautiful views of the mountains. O’Keefe’s true source of art is nature. She was born in November 15, 1887, she was an art student in Chicago and New York. At age of ten O’Keefe wanted to become an artist. Most of O’Keefe’s paintings were abstract. She is very important because she painted many New York skyscrapers and New Mexico landscapes, she is very well know because of those paintings.

In my opinion I think that she was a great artist. I like the way she did her abstract. Around her time abstracts were uncommon, but she still kept doing them.When many of the critics saw her as a sexual creature because of the photos of her husband displayed she still kept on painting
