ARTIST BIO
Among the great American artists of the 20th-century,
Georgia O’Keeffe stands as one of the most compelling. For
nearly a century, O’Keeffe’s representations of the beauty
of the American landscape were a brave counterpoint to the
chaotic images embraced by the art world. Though she has
had many imitators, no one since has been able to paint
with such intimacy and stark precision.
Georgia O’Keeffe was born in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin in
1887. In 1905 she attended the Art Institute of Chicago and
a year later went to study at the Art Students League of New
York. Georgia O’Keeffe had her first exhibition in 1916 at
Steiglitz’s “291 Gallery. She and Steiglitz married in 1922,
beginning one of the most fruitful and well-known

have come to represent her unique gifts.
Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, O’Keeffe’s fame
continued to grow. A major retrospective in 1970, at the
Whitney Museum of American Art, placed her categorically
as one of the most important and influential American
painters. In 1976, her illustrated autobiography, GEORGIA A Art History timeline.
O’KEEFFE was a best seller, and the next year she received
the Medal of Freedom from President Gerald Ford.
In 1985 she received the Medal of the Arts from
President Ronald Reagan. In March of the next year, at the
age of 98, O’Keeffe passed away at St. Vincent’s Hospital in
Santa Fe, New Mexico. Georgia O’Keeffe’s work remains a
prominent part of major national and international
museums. For many, her paintings represent the
beginnings of a new American art free from the irony and
cynicism of the late 20th century.
“To create one's own world in any of the arts
takes courage.” Georgia O’Keefe
