Georgia O’Keeffe, Flowers and Sex

Georgia O'Keeffe, Flowers and Sex

Six Paintings. One Concept

The close-ups and details of flowers that Georgia O'Keeffe painted in large formats were highly praised at the time as they were interpreted as symbols of the female sex. For that reason, feminists considered the artist as a reference.

The irony is that, as she humbly admitted, O'Keeffe's true intention was only to expand the scale, so that when the object was presented in a different, creative way, the viewer would "observe it for the first time" and admire it again. One of the simplest and most wonderful purposes of art in general.
