"I feel there is something unexplored about woman that only a woman can explore. " 
 - Georgia O'Keeffe

"Gegorgia O'Keeffe is one of the most well known American painters. Not only did she avoid changing to conform to the new art styles, she created a series of impressive work pieces during her expansive career. She is also one of the most celebrated, since we were able to see so much work. With the expansive collection she created, she published quite a bit of work over her career, most of which was celebrated for its intricate detail and attention in the design."

"Georgia O’Keeffe is one of the most significant and intriguing artists of the twentieth century, known internationally for her boldly innovative art. Her distinct flowers, dramatic cityscapes, glowing landscapes, and images of bones against the stark desert sky are iconic and original contributions to American Modernism."

I highly recommend to watch the video of this link to really understand her life.

I would also like to remark the unfair fact that she and her artwork was misinterpret by the critics of her time because her husband published pictures of her. These pictures talked about her in a sexualize way and since then all her art was about sex. Luckily, after a while she get again her own picture of herself.
