Georgia Totto O’Keeffe (1887-1986) was an American artist. Born near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, O’Keeffe first came to the attention of the New York art community in 1916. She made large-format paintings of enlarged blossoms, presenting them close up as if seen through a magnifying lens, and New York buildings, most of which date from the same decade. Beginning in 1929, when she began working part of the year in Northern New Mexico – which she made her permanent home in 1949 – O’Keeffe depicted subjects specific to that area. O’Keeffe has been recognized as the Mother of American Modernism.
