The Evolution of O’Keeffe’s work• O’Keeffe began her famous
flower series in the 1920s while living in New York City. By magnifying the flowers, she encouraged people to look at them from a new perspective.
• In 1929, O’Keeffe visited Taos, New Mexico and was awestruck by what she found there
• O’Keeffe is considered to be a great artist because she was able to describe on canvas what it was like to be that landscape• She understood that the place
that you are in makes you who you are• She also knew that who you
want to be in the future impacts the place you are in now

• Although Georgia O’Keeffe is known mainly for her pictures about the American southwest, she brought her unique style of art with her as she traveled to Japan and Peru.
• Rather than paint traditional landscapes, O’Keeffe’s work frequently focused on one key element in the landscape that was painted in great detail. Her hope was that by learning a lot about one thing, the viewer would learn about the environment that flower, mountain, or shape came from.
