Georgia O'Keeffe Paintings Notecard Folio

The bella donna and petunia painted by Georgia O’Keeffe pair beautifully in this notecard folio with their soft petals and green, blue, and purple hues. O’Keeffe was the quintessential American artist—bold, passionate, unmistakable, incapable of compromise. She came from a farm in Wisconsin, found inspiration among the skyscrapers of Manhattan, and headed west to the New Mexico desert, where her paintings took on a new life. Nature, land, the garden: it was her habit to go out in search of things of beauty, which she brought back to her home and studio. Contains five each of the following notecards: Petunia No. 2, 1924 Bella Donna, 1939

Georgia O’Keeffe From the turn of the 20th century to her death at 98, Georgia O’Keeffe (American, 1887–1986) completed more than 2,000 works—an oeuvre that ultimately ensured her place as one of the most highly regarded American artists of all time. Among the first female painters to garner both widespread popularity and critical acclaim, O’Keeffe first came to the public’s attention during the 1920s and 1930s through her sensual flower paintings and the series of portraits of her taken by photographer and art collector Alfred Stieglitz, whom she married. In 1929 she traveled to Taos, New Mexico, and was so impressed by the desert landscape that she eventually moved to the area. There she devoted her creative energies to capturing the simple forms and spiritual essence of the land.
