The Modernistes were known for their interest in: symbolism in art social causes, including the urban
underprivileged
Picasso would opt to paint the poor or disenfranchised: the prostitutes, beggars, street musicians, for he felt that they alone understood him and his pain.
He assimilated the ideas the Post-Impressionist painters - Van Gogh, Cezanne, Seurat, etc. into his own works while in Paris.

Three Main Periods in O’Keeffe’s work:
Flower Period: began to paint giant, detailed,
almost surreal paintings of flowers
Innovative in using brilliant, bold colors with simple patterns and shapes
Some considered her work controversial and sexual
“I have painted what each flower is to me and I have painted it big enough so that others would see what I see.”

Ghost Ranch Period O’Keeffe journeyed with a friend to Taos, New
Mexico and the Ghost Ranch in 1930.
She fell in love with the barrenness and expanse of the unspoiled land, and created almost mythical images of them as she loved to see them: uninterrupted or spoiled by humans.
She loved the feeling of the country's symbols:
life as a struggle sadness resurrection.
