"Georgia"

0.0 x 0.0

Georgia O'Keeffe (1887–1986) was a major American artist whose style and influence are clearly seen in the art world today. She lived an independent life though married to Alfred Stieglitz in 1924. He tirelessly promoted her work and supported her career financially and by exhibiting her pieces in over 20 shows. She moved to New Mexico in 1949 and began a series of paintings which are well known and celebrated as some of her very best work. Unfortunately, ill health and blindness kept her from painting in the last period of her life. When she died at age 98, her ashes were scattered over the New Mexico landscape that she so loved.
