She painted beautiful America, huge flowers, night
and day of New Mexico, and New York city landscapes. She did works on paper
and oil canvas. In 1923, Georgia's work was shown for the first time in
New York. Her art became known by the world. She is famous for her
large flower paintings. In museums all across the land, people see her flowers, deserts, hills, cities, and skies the way she did. In 1976, she wrote a book about her life and art. In 1977, she received an honorary medal of honor from President Ford. by Josh |
I like Georgia O'Keeffe because she was like one of
the best women artists of all time. Her lighter colored flowers are the
prettiest. In my opinion, the paintings of New Mexico are the best. Her
favorite art was the art of New Mexico. She also made a lot of pots. The
quote that I will always remember will be the one where she sais, "God
told me if I painted that mountain enough, he'd give it to me." She wrote
many poems as well.
