Georgia O’Keeffe was famous for her enlarged flowers, beautiful cityscapes, outstanding landscapes, and images of bright bones against the desert sky. She based all of her artwork on objects and sights she saw in nature. Georgia was inspired by her local surroundings in Texas, New Mexico, and New York City.

Georgia O’Keeffe was born in 1887 and became a well-known artist for her enlarged and close-up flowers. One of my favorite pieces of hers is the Black Iris dated in 1926 with oil on canvas.

Léger’s 1919 The City and Georgia O’Keeffe’s 1925 New York Street With Moon appear to be extremely different photos— the color schemes, spacing, and amount of detail to objects and movement for each photo are distinct opposites.

to continue painting. Similarly, Georgia O’Keefe’s husband, Alfred Stieglitz was a famous artist and critic before he had met her.
