(1887 – 1986) Pioneering American female artist, her bold oversized flowers and abstract still-life representations of the West have made her one of the most popular figures of American abstract art. Born in Wisconsin, O’Keefe moved to New York, where she married (1924– 46) photographer and galleryowner Alfred Steiglitz. After his death, O’Keefe settled in New Mexico, where she vividly interpreted Southwestern landscapes, nature and skies.

Her colorful and intriguing images, incorporated into major museum collections, have also shaped American style and design.
