Georgia O'Keeffe's style is instantly recognizable for its modernist abstraction combined with precise realism. Think of it as a zoomed-in, intensely focused lens on nature.
Key Characteristics & Themes:
- Large-scale depictions: Often painting subjects, like flowers, way bigger than life.
- Simplified forms: Reducing objects to their essential shapes and colors.
- Close-up perspective: Creating intimacy and revealing hidden details.
- Vibrant colors: Using bold hues to evoke emotion and energy.
- Focus on nature: Primarily flowers, landscapes, and bones, often from the American Southwest.
- Sensuality and Femininity: Some interpretations see her work as subtle explorations of female sexuality.
Name Tie-in: Think of O'K as "Overly Klose," which is exactly what she does with her subjects, bringing them into an intense, intimate focus!
