Dark Iris, 1927 by Georgia O'Keeffe

Georgia O'Keeffe's work has led her to become an icon of feminism. Her paintings, from large close-ups of flowers to American landscapes, all display a sense of elegance and vitality and show a deep connection with her surroundings. “Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest,” said O'Keeffe.
