World of Art: Georgia O'Keeffe

Georgia O'Keeffe (1887–1986) was a major figure in American art for seven decades. Throughout that long and prolific career she remained true to her unique artistic vision, creating a highly distinctive and individual style that synthesized the formal language of modern European abstraction and the themes of traditional American pictorialism, painting innovative artworks noted for their vibrant color and smooth, sinuous forms. The main subjects to which she returned again and again were the flowers, animal bones and landscapes around her studios in Lake George, New York, and finally New Mexico, with which she has been ultimately identified.
