Georgia O’Keeffe: An Artist Beyond Her Flowers

  • Georgia O'Keeffe's early works demonstrate her talent for mediums beyond the oil paintings she's famous for.
  • An exhibition at MoMA features O'Keeffe's works on paper and lesser-known series to establish her as a pioneer of modern art.
  • The show brings together series of related drawings and paintings, some reunited for the first time in decades.
  • O'Keeffe struggled with portraits but excelled in abstracting nature, culminating in charcoal drawings from 1959 that convey doubt and confidence.
  • The exhibition aims to showcase O'Keeffe's "serial practice" of repeating images and her wanderlust in unfamiliar pencil sketches, charcoals, and watercolors.
