Georgia O'Keeffe

[LCR]

Georgia O'Keeffe was born in 1887 In 1905, she entered the Art Institute in Chmkago, but two years later went to Art College Gough York, where she met Alfred Stieglitz, the famous photographer and gallery owners.

In 1917, Stieglitz organized the solo exhibition of avant-garde in his gallery "291". Stiglitz left a large number of photographs of Georgia O'Keeffe, who became his muse. In turn, O'Keefe was inspired in his creative urban photographs Stieglitz.

Following his credo - to portray not what she sees and what she feels, she performed a series of landscapes of New York. In which city is transformed into a kind of phantasmagoria ...

But the most famous images of flowers - the strange, predatory, disturbing. She wrote them not from life but from photographs of another photographer, Paul Strand: "I know that I can not write uvetok not SOGU I write the sun shining in the bright summer day. But I hope that I can pass through the color of my feeling of the flower, or rather, my feeling that at some point becomes important because of the flower.

She died in 1986 in Santa Fe.
