Summary: The paintings by the American artist Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) enthrall us with their expressive colour and latent sensuality. Famous for her iconic paintings of calla lilies and irises seen in magnified close-up, O'Keeffe painted not only flowers but also atmospheric images of Manhattan skyscrapers, sweeping desert landscapes and poetic, semi-abstract compositions akin to the colour field painting of the 1950s and 60s. Richly illustrated with paintings by the artist, portraits taken by Alfred Stieglitz and contemporary photographs, this study documents the most important phases in Georgia O'Keeffe's lengthy life in art.
