A major figure in art since the 1920’s, Georgia O’Keefe is typically associated with Southwest, She is known for her large paintings of flowers, rocks, animal bones and landscapes, often transforming them into powerful abstract images.

“So I said to myself – I’ll paint what I see - what the flower is to me but I’ll paint it big and they will be surprised into taking the time to look at it - I will make even busy New Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers.”
 
“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way - things I had no words for.”

“Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time - we haven’t time - and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.”

- Georgia O’Keefe  (1887-1986)
