Georgia O'Keeffe

American artist Georgia O'Keeffe is one of the most significant and intriguing artists of the twentieth century, known internationally for her boldly innovative art. Her distinct flowers, dramatic cityscapes, glowing landscapes, and images of bones against the stark desert sky are iconic and original contributions to American Modernism—a style of art that departed significantly from the traditions of the past.

     "COLORS AND SHAPES
MAKE A MORE DEFINITE
STATEMENT THAN WORDS.

  ONE CANNOT BE AN
AMERICAN BY GOING ABOUT
  SAYING THAT ONE IS AN
AMERICAN. IT IS NECESSARY
  TO FEEL AMERICA, LIKE
     AMERICA, LOVE AMERICA
            AND THEN WORK.

NOBODY SEES A FLOWER REALLY;
IT IS SO SMALL. WE HAVEN'T TIME,
AND TO SEE TAKES TIME - LIKE TO
HAVE A FRIEND TAKES TIME."
