Lot 313:
Oil on canvas painting attributed to well listed American artist Georgia O’Keeffe ( 1887-1986 ).Recognized as America’s most celebrated woman painter, Georgia O’Keeffe created a highly original body of work ranging from lyrical nature studies and depictions of magnified blossoms to striking portrayals of the dry, arid desert of New Mexico. Along with her husband Alfred Stieglitz, she was an influential member of the New York art scene during the 1920s and 1930s, playing a vital role in the development of modernism in the United States. Her formal inventiveness, coupled with her enduring love of nature, have given us some of the most beloved images in the history of American art. Georgia O’Keeffe was honored in her lifetime with many recognitions of her art and achievements. Awards include election to the American Academy of Arts and Letters (1963), Brandeis University Creative Arts Award (1963), election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1966), National Institute of Arts, Letters Gold Medal for Painting (1966) and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1977).Size: 24 x 18 1/2 inches; painting itself 21 1/4 x 15 7/8 inches. ~ .
