I. Biography

Georgia O’Keeffe is one of the most original and captivating American painters of the twentieth century. She is best known for her work which explores, through distilled shape and color, the majesty of nature and the intrigue of the southwestern American landscape. As a woman artist emerging amid the male-dominated milieu of early-twentieth century Modernism, O’Keeffe developed a pictorial style that bore little resemblance to the various movements championed by her avant-garde contemporaries. At times verging on abstraction, she remained committed throughout her life to capturing the essence of observable objects and scenes in their most basic incarnations.

Born on a Wisconsin dairy farm in 1887, O’Keeffe manifested her talent as an artist at an early age; by the time she was in secondary school, she was certain she would become a famous artist. In 1905 she attended the Art Institute of Chicago and continued her education at the Art Students League in New York where she studied under the prominent American Impressionist William Merritt Chase. Her talents earned her the Chase Still Life Scholarship which funded her attendance at the summer school of the Art Students League at Lake George, New York. It was there that she first painted outdoors and was introduced to the natural scenery of Lake George. She would return to the site frequently throughout her early career to paint her famous flower series. In 1913 O’Keeffe attended Columbia University Teachers College where she was instructed by Arthur Wesley Dow. Dow’s notion of “filling space in a beautiful way” liberated O’Keeffe from the confines of strict representation and set her on her lifelong investigation of her own intuitive perceptions and the expressive potential of her subjects.

In 1916, O’Keeffe began to attract the attentions of the American public when she exhibited several charcoal drawings at Alfred Stieglitz’s 291gallery in New York City. The photographer and gallerist Alfred Stieglitz, O’Keeffe’s future husband, helped launch her art career, introducing her to acquaintances within the art world and providing her with financial support, studio space and frequent exhibition opportunities. O’Keeffe’s first major exhibition showcased her remarkable skill as a draftsman. The organic, fluid forms of her early abstracted charcoal drawings constituted the visual vocabulary she would reference decades later in her landscapes and still-lifes. The drawings earned her critical acclaim from critics who deemed her work inventive and definitively Modern. The exhibition also called attention to the distinctly feminine artistic sensibilities O’Keeffe was thought to possess. Art critic Henry Tyrell wrote that the drawings presented “the innermost unfolding of a girl’s being, like the germinating of a flower.”

O’Keefe began taking extended trips to northern New Mexico in 1929 where she encountered new objects and scenes that became the source of her inspiration for the remainder of her artistic career. Cow skulls and other scavenged animal bones become symbols, in her vivid renderings, of the eternal beauty of the desert. O’Keeffe was also transfixed by the sparse splendor of the New Mexico desert landscape which she captured with a pared-down, if at times surreal, elegance.

Until 1949 when O’Keeffe made Abiquiu, New Mexico her permanent residence, she spent her winters in New York exhibiting the work she produced during her summers in New Mexico. She lived and worked in New Mexico for the rest of her 98 years, dividing her time between her homes in Abiquiu and the remote Ghost Ranch until she moved to Santa Fe two years before her death.

O’Keeffe’s legendary life and compelling work have captured the imaginations of many. She has been the subject of numerous monographs and biographies. Major retrospectives of her work have been mounted at the finest art institutions in the country: the Art Institute of Chicago, the Whitney Museum of American, the Museum of Modern Art and the National Gallery of Art. Her work is represented in every major American or Modern Art collection in the world.
