Georgia O'Keeffe


I really liked the work and story about Georgia O'Keeffe. She did seem to have a few little quirks that you'd expect from an artist, like marrying a man much older than herself and turning herself into a hermit in the desert, but she was much nicer and saner than most of the artists we have looked at. She even paints items into her pictures that are easily identified, even though the surroundings can be difficult to determine. She seems to rely on the juxtaposition of the items and the symbolism they represent as her way of differentiating herself from the rest.
