For many
people, Georgia
O'Keeffe represents the American dream and the independent woman.
She is among a handful of modern American painters that have
achieved striking global acceptance and praise.
Born 15 November 1887 in Sun Prairie,
Wisconsin, she died on 6 March 1986 in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
She began seriously studying art in 1907
at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
She got to know the American West when
she became an art supervisor and teacher in Amarillo, Texas in
1912. Many of her most famous paintings depict the rugged
|
terrain
of that part of the United States. However, although she is
closely identified with New Mexico but she was also a
sophisticated New Yorker.
On 11 December 1924, she married
photographer Alfred Stieglitz and remained his wife until his
death more than two decades later although she spent a great deal
of time alone in the 1930s and never formally abandoned him.
