Georgia O’Keeffe From the turn of the 20th century to her death at 98, Georgia O’Keeffe (American, 1887–1986) completed more than 2,000 works—an oeuvre that ultimately ensured her place as one of the most highly regarded American artists of all time. Among the first female painters to garner both widespread popularity and critical acclaim, O’Keeffe first came to the public’s attention during the 1920s and 1930s through her sensual flower paintings and the series of portraits of her taken by photographer and art collector Alfred Stieglitz, whom she married. In 1929 she traveled to Taos, New Mexico, and was so impressed by the desert landscape that she eventually moved to the area. There she devoted her creative energies to capturing the simple forms and spiritual essence of the land.
