Georgia O'Keeffe, American Artist

Georgia Totto O'Keeffe (November 15, 1887 - March 6, 1986) was an American artist. She was known for her paintings of enlarged flowers, New York skyscrapers, and New Mexico landscapes. O'Keeffe has been recognized as the "Mother of American modernism". Alfred Stieglitz, an art dealer and photographer, held an exhibit of her works in 1917.  He promoted and exhibited her works and a personal relationship developed that led to their marriage. They lived together in New York until 1929, when O'Keeffe began spending part of the year in the Southwest, which served as inspiration for her paintings of landscapes and animal skulls.  Carl Van Vechten August 16, 1950.
