Georgia O’Keeffe was an American modernism artist. She was interested in art ever since she was young. She went on to study art at the Art Institute of Chicago. Georgia was most famous for her paintings of large flowers. She went on to marry photographer Alfred Stieglitz. Stieglitz died in 1942. Georgia dealt with this by moving to New Mexico and becoming interested in landscape painting and art. Her last painting was completed in 1972. The painting was called ‘Black Rock with Blue Sky and White Clouds.” She later died at 98 years old. Ironically, she was losing her eye sight. Georgia O’Keeffe was named after her Hungarian grandfather, George Victor Totto. Ida and Francis O’Keefee immigrated from Ireland in 1848. Ida aspired to become a doctor.
