while, she moved to Texas to teach art (“Georgia O’Keeffe: About the Painter”). Eventually she became supervisor of art in Amarillo Texas public schools (O’Keefe, Georgia). While teaching in Texas, O’Keefe became frustrated with her own work and stopped paining. Her love of art was rekindled, however, after taking a class at the Teacher’s College of Columbia University in South Carolina. The class was taught by Arthur Dove who helped O’Keefe “find something of her own” in her artwork (“Georgia O’Keeffe: About the Painter”). She began drawing and painting again and some of her charcoal drawings were sent to New York by a friend where they were exhibited by Alfred Stieglitz at his 291 gallery (O’Keefe, Georgia). She moved to New York in 1918 and married Stieglitz in 1924, all the while solidifying her place among the Stieglitz circle, a group of artists featured at the gallery (O’Keefe, Georgia). Her early paintings were very abstract and included scenes of New York landscapes and the East River. Later, her work shifted to the animal bones and large flowers she is so well known. Though her very early work included watercolors and charcoal works, she eventually worked nearly exclusively in oil paintings. After her husband died in 1946, she moved to New Mexico and much of her more famous work was influenced by its desert surroundings (O’Keefe, Georgia). It was here her signature style of simplified, enlarged, abstract designs took shape as she painted mostly flowers and desert…

As an art student in New York and Chicago, she could easily replicate the work of others. However, Georgia wanted to paint her “own way,” so she dropped out of the school and stopped painting. She soon found Arthur Dow, who taught her useful art techniques that she could use in her artwork. In 1916, her work was exhibited in New York for the first time. She was assigned a solo show…

With the help of her husband, Alfred Stieglitz and her talent she went on to create masterful works (Unknown B 1). O’Keeffe once said, “To create one’s world in any of the arts takes courage.” (Unknown F 1).

Georgia O’Keeffe became famous almost on accident. She had mailed a few of her drawing to a friend telling her to keep them to herself. That friend couldn’t help but show them off to the considerably famous photographer Alfred Stieglitz (www.okeeffemuseum.org). Stieglitz included her in a group show of 1916 and began an extraordinary collaboration of the two (120).

Accompanied by pure photography style, Stieglitz was instrumental in helping make photography the fine art, and this eye-catching image, Winter, Fifth Avenue, is one of his best known works captured in…

After their experience on the battlefield, they will leave a different person having experience first hand the horrors and destructions of war. Others will enter from a draft; they will not want to fight for their country. Instead they want to make it out alive. Seeing the horror invokes the savagery in man for the one goal of survival. Different reasons for entering the war results in…

Artists chose to go in a more emotional, creative style for their creations. These artists also chose to display more symbolic and exotic subjects (i.e. paintings, books, poems). One piece of art that displays these characteristics is The Lady of Shalott, created by John William Waterhouse. John William Waterhouse was an Italian artist who painted mainly…

In the poem, “Ulysses,” author Lord Tennyson writes about the king of Ithaca, Ulysses, who had fought in the Trojan War, and had so deeply enjoyed his many travels that he is bored of ruling over his island home, and once again yearns to explore the world. Tennyson writes this poem in the form of a dramatic monologue, and by using this technique the reader is told details of the main characters life and personality through his speech. This is also accomplished through the way the poem itself is…
