Georgia O'Keeffe

Here you will find some of Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings separated according to four categories:

Jack in the Pulpit No IV 1930

Flowers: The first painting O'Keeffe created of a large-scale, magnified flower was in 1924. Paintings of flowers are now among her most famous pieces of work.

Grey Hills

Landscapes: When O'Keeffe first visited New Mexico, she was taken aback. In a letter written to her friend Maria Chabot, she wrote: "It is breathtaking as one rises up over the world one has been living in, looking out at and looks down at it stretching away and away."

Cow Skull

Bones: Just like her landscape paintings, she became enthralled with painting the bones of dead animals. Her 1929 summer vacation to New Mexico changed her way of looking at painting for time to come. According to O'Keeffe, she said, "The bones seem to cut sharply to the center of something that is keenly alive on the desert even tho' it is vast and empty and untouchable...and knows no kindness with all its beauty.

New York at Night

Urban / The City: O'Keeffe started painting the urban landscapes and skyscrapers when she and Stieglitz moved to the thirtieth floor of the Shelton Hotel in New York. She had a spectacular view and created such pieces as : City Night; Shelton Hotel, New York #1; The Shelton with Sunspots; Radiator Building-Night, New York; New York with Moon; East River from the Shelton; Ritz Tower, Night; and New York Night.
