Georgia O’Keeffe, a pioneer of modern art, celebrated the beauty and complexity of the built environments she experienced, from gleaming Manhattan skyscrapers to the striking adobe homes and churches of New Mexico. Throughout her long career, the artist found inspiration through close observations of her surroundings, both natural and fabricated. She returned many times to architectural subjects with the same powerful, abstract style used for her well-known depictions of flowers and desert landscapes. O’Keeffe experimented with line, geometry, and color to develop her distinctive style. The buildings in the artist’s remarkable oeuvre, rich with personal meaning, encourage us to view our surroundings with new eyes.
