Georgia Totto O’Keeffe was an American artist. She was best known for her paintings of enlarged flowers, New York skyscrapers, and New Mexico landscapes. O’Keeffe has been recognized as the “Mother of American modernism.” She came to know the many early American modernists who were part of Stieglitz’s circle of artists, including Charles Demuth, Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Paul Strand, and Edward Steichen. Strand’s photography, as well as that of Stieglitz and his many photographer friends, inspired O’Keeffe’s work. O’Keeffe began creating simplified images of natural things, such as leaves, flowers, and rocks. Inspired by Precisionism, “The Green Apple”, completed in 1922, depicts her notion of simple, meaningful life. O’Keeffe said that year, “it is only by selection, by elimination, and by emphasis that we get at the real meaning of things.” “Blue and Green Music” expresses O’Keeffe’s feelings about music through visual art, using bold and subtle colors.
