Early life

[edit]

Georgia O'Keeffe was born on November 15, 1887,[1][2] in a farmhouse located at 2405 Hwy T in the town of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.[3][4] Her parents, Francis Calyxtus O'Keeffe and Ida (Totto) O'Keeffe, were dairy farmers. Her father was of Irish descent. Her maternal grandfather George Victor Totto, for whom O'Keeffe was named, was a Hungarian count who came to the United States in 1848.[1][5]

O'Keeffe was the second of seven children and the first daughter. She attended Town Hall School in Sun Prairie.[6] By age ten she had decided to become an artist,[7] and she and her sister received art instruction from local watercolorist Sara Mann. O'Keeffe attended high school at Sacred Heart Academy in Madison, Wisconsin as a boarder between 1901 and 1902. In late 1902 the O'Keeffes moved from Wisconsin to the close-knit neighborhood of Peacock Hill in Williamsburg, Virginia. O'Keeffe stayed in Wisconsin with her aunt and attended Madison High School, then joined her family in Virginia in 1903. She completed high school as a boarder at Chatham Episcopal Institute in Virginia (now Chatham Hall) and graduated in 1905. She was a member of the Kappa Delta sorority.[1][6]

When she taught and headed the art department at West Texas State Normal College, her youngest sibling, Claudia, lived with her at her mother's request to watch over her as she studied at the school.[8] In 1917 she visited her brother, Alexis, at a military camp in Texas before he shipped out for Europe during World War I. While there she created the painting, The Flag,[9] which expressed her anxiety and depression about the war.[10]

O'Keeffe studied and ranked at the top of her class at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago from 1905 to 1906, studying with John Vanderpoel.[1][7] Due to typhoid fever, she had to take a year off from her education.[1] In 1907, she attended the Art Students League in New York City, where she studied under William Merritt Chase, Kenyon Cox and F. Luis Mora.[1] In 1908, she won the League's William Merritt Chase still-life prize for her oil painting Dead Rabbit with Copper Pot. Her prize was a scholarship to attend the League's outdoor summer school in Lake George, New York.[1] While in the city, O'Keeffe visited galleries, like 291, co-owned by her future husband, photographer Alfred Stieglitz. The gallery promoted the work of avant-garde artists from the United States and Europe and photographers.[1]

In 1908, O'Keeffe found out that she would not be able to finance her studies. Her father had gone bankrupt and her mother was seriously ill with tuberculosis.[1] She also was not interested in creating a career as a painter based upon the mimetic tradition which had formed the basis of her art training.[7] She took a job in Chicago as a commercial artist and worked there until 1910, when she returned to Virginia to recuperate from a case of the measles[11] and later moved with her family to Charlottesville.[1] She did not paint for four years, and said that the smell of turpentine made her sick.[7] She began teaching art in 1911. One of her positions was her former school, Chatham Episcopal Institute in Virginia.[1][12]

She took a summer art class in 1912 at the University of Virginia from Alon Bement, who was a Columbia University Teachers College faculty member. Under Bement, she learned of innovative ideas of Arthur Wesley Dow, a colleague of her instructor. Dow's approach was influenced by principles of Japanese art regarding design and composition. She began to experiment with abstract compositions and develop a personal style that veered away from realism.[1][7] She took classes at the University of Virginia for two more summers.[13] She also took a class in the spring of 1914 at Teachers College of Columbia University with Dow, who further influenced her thinking about the process of making art.[14] Her studies at the University of Virginia, based upon Dow's principles, were pivotal in O'Keeffe's development as an artist. Through her exploration and growth as an artist, she helped to establish the American modernism movement. In November 2016, the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum recognized the importance of her time in Charlottesville by dedicating an exhibition, using watercolors that she had created over three summers. It was entitled, O’Keeffe at the University of Virginia, 1912-1914.[13]

From 1912 to 1914, she taught art in the public schools in Amarillo in the Texas Panhandle. During the summers, she was a teaching assistant to Bement.[1]

She taught at Columbia College, Columbia, South Carolina in late 1915, where she completed a series of highly innovative charcoal abstractions,[7] based on her personal sensations.[12] The Georgia O'Keeffe museum says that she was one of the first American artists to practice pure abstraction.[1] O'Keeffe mailed the drawings to friend and former classmate at Teachers College, Anita Pollitzer, who took them to Alfred Stieglitz at his 291 gallery early in 1916.[15] Stieglitz found them to be the "purest, finest, sincerest things that had entered 291 in a long while", and said that he would like to show them. In early 1916, O'Keeffe was in New York at Teachers College, Columbia University. In April that year, Stieglitz exhibited ten of her drawings at 291.[1][7]

After further course work at Columbia in early 1916 and summer teaching for Bement,[1] she was the chair of the art department beginning the fall of 1916 at the West Texas State Normal College, in Canyon.[16] She began a series of watercolor paintings based upon the scenery and expansive views during her walks,[12][17] including vibrant paintings she made of Palo Duro Canyon.[18] O'Keeffe, who enjoyed sunrises and sunsets, developed a fondness for intense and nocturnal colors. Building upon a practice she began in South Carolina, O'Keeffe painted to express her most private sensations and feelings. Rather than sketching out a design before painting, she freely created designs. O'Keeffe continued to experiment until she believed she truly captured her feelings in the watercolor, Light Coming on the Plains No. I (1917).[12] She "captured a monumental landscape in this simple configuration, fusing blue and green pigments in almost indistinct tonal graduations that simulate the pulsating effect of light on the horizon of the Texas Panhandle," according to author Sharyn Rohlfsen Udall.[12][17]

New York

[edit]

Stieglitz, nearly a quarter century older than O'Keeffe, provided financial support and arranged for a residence and place for her to paint in New York in 1918. They developed a close personal relationship and he promoted her work.[1] She came to know the many early American modernists who were part of Stieglitz's circle of artists, including Charles Demuth, Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Paul Strand, and Edward Steichen. Strand's photography, as well as that of Stieglitz and his many photographer friends, inspired O'Keeffe's work. Also around this time, O'Keeffe became sick during the 1918 flu pandemic, like so many others.[19]

Blue and Green Music, 1921

O'Keeffe began creating simplified images of natural things, like leaves, flowers, and rocks.[20] Inspired by Precisionism, The Green Apple, completed in 1922, depicts her notion of simple, meaningful life.[21] O'Keeffe said that year, "it is only by selection, by elimination, and by emphasis that we get at the real meaning of things."[21] Blue and Green Music expresses O'Keeffe's feelings about music through visual art, using bold and subtle colors.[22]


O'Keeffe, most famous for her depiction of flowers, made about 200 flower paintings,[23] which by the mid-1920s were large-scale depictions of flowers, as if seen through a magnifying lens, such as Oriental Poppies[24][25] and several Red Canna paintings.[26] She painted her first large-scale flower painting, Petunia, No. 2, in 1924 that was first exhibited in 1925.[1] Making magnified depictions of objects imbued a sense of awe and emotional intensity.[20] On November 20, 2014, O'Keeffe's Jimson Weed (1932) sold for $44,405,000, more than three times the previous world auction record for any female artist.[27]

Works such as Black Iris III (1926) evoke a veiled representation of female genitalia while also accurately depicting the center of an iris. O'Keeffe consistently denied the validity of Freudian interpretations of her art.[28]

After having moved into a 30th floor apartment in the Shelton Hotel in 1925, O'Keeffe began a series of paintings of the city skyscrapers and skyline.[29] One of her most notable works, which demonstrates her skill at depicting the buildings in the Precisionist style, is the Radiator Building—Night, New York.[30][31] Other examples New York Street with Moon (1925),[32] The Shelton with Sunspots, N.Y. (1926),[33] and City Night (1926).[1] She made a cityscape, East River from the Thirtieth Story of the Shelton Hotel in 1928, a dismal painting of her view of the East River and smoke-emitting factories in Queens.[29] The next year she made her final New York City skyline and skyscraper paintings and traveled to New Mexico, which became a source of inspiration for her work.[30]

In 1924, Stieglitz arranged an simultaneous exhibit of O'Keeffe's works of arts and his photographs at Anderson Galleries and arranged for other major exhibits.[34] The Brooklyn Museum held a retrospective of her work in 1927.[15] In 1928, he announced to the press that six of her calla lily paintings sold to an anonymous buyer in France for US$25,000, but there is no evidence that this transaction occurred the way Stieglitz reported. However, due to the press, O'Keeffe's paintings sold at a higher price from that point forward.[35][36] By the late twenties she was noted for her work as an American artists, particularly for the paintings of New York city skyscrapers and close-up paintings of flowers.[34]

Taos

[edit]

O'Keeffe traveled to New Mexico by 1929 with her friend Rebecca Strand and stayed in Taos at the home of Mabel Dodge Luhan, who provided the women with studios.[37] O'Keeffe went on many pack trips, exploring the rugged mountains and deserts of the region that summer and later visited the nearby D. H. Lawrence Ranch,[37] where she completed her now famous oil painting, The Lawrence Tree, currently owned by the Wadsworth Athenaeum in Hartford, Connecticut.[38] O'Keeffe visited and painted the nearby historical San Francisco de Asis Mission Church at Ranchos de Taos. She made several paintings of the church, as had many artists, and her painting of a fragment of it silhouetted against the sky captured it from a unique perspective.[39][40]

New Mexico and New York

[edit]

O'Keeffe then spent part of nearly every year working in New Mexico. She collected rocks and bones from the desert floor and made them and the distinctive architectural and landscape forms of the area subjects in her work.[20] Known as a loner, O'Keeffe explored the land she loved often in her Ford Model A, which she purchased and learned to drive in 1929. She often talked about her fondness for Ghost Ranch and Northern New Mexico, as in 1943, when she explained: "Such a beautiful, untouched lonely feeling place, such a fine part of what I call the 'Faraway'. It is a place I have painted before ... even now I must do it again."[40]

Due to exhaustion and poor health, she did not work from late 1932 until about the mid-1930s.[40] She was a popular and reputed artist. She received a number of commissions and her works were exhibited in New York and other places.[41] In 1936, she completed what would become one of her most well-known paintings, Summer Days, in 1936. It depicted a desert scene with a deer's skull with vibrant wildflowers. Like Ram's Head with Hollyhock, it depicted the skull floating above the horizon.[41][42]

Pineapple Bud, 1939, oil on canvas

In 1938, the advertising agency N. W. Ayer & Son approached O'Keeffe about creating two paintings for the Hawaiian Pineapple Company (now Dole Food Company) to use in their advertising.[43][44][45] Other artists who produced paintings of Hawaii for the Hawaiian Pineapple Company’s advertising include Lloyd Sexton, Jr., Millard Sheets, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Isamu Noguchi, and Miguel Covarrubias.[46] The offer came at a critical time in O’Keeffe’s life: she was 51, and her career seemed to be stalling (critics were calling her focus on New Mexico limited, and branding her desert images “a kind of mass production”).[47] She arrived in Honolulu February 8, 1939 aboard the SS Lurline, and spent nine weeks in Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the island of Hawaii. By far the most productive and vivid period was on Maui, where she was given complete freedom to explore and paint.[47] She painted flowers, landscapes, and traditional Hawaiian fishhooks. Back in New York, O’Keeffe completed a series of 20 sensual, verdant paintings. However, she did not paint the requested pineapple until the Hawaiian Pineapple Company sent a plant to her New York studio.[48]

O'Keeffe's "White Place," the Plaza Blanca cliffs and badlands near Abiquiú

During the 1940s O'Keeffe had two one-woman retrospectives, the first at the Art Institute of Chicago (1943).[20] Her second was in 1946, when she was the first woman artist to have a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in Manhattan.[23] Whitney Museum of American Art began an effort to create the first catalogue of her work in the mid-1940s.[41]

In the 1940s, O'Keeffe made an extensive series of paintings of what is called the "Black Place", about 150 miles west of her Ghost Ranch house.[49] O'Keeffe said that the Black Place resembled "a mile of elephants with gray hills and white sand at their feet."[40] She made paintings of the "White Place", a white rock formation located near her Abiquiú house.[50]

In 1946 she began making the architectural forms of her Abiquiú house—patio wall and door—subjects in her work.[51] Another distinctive painting was Ladder to the Moon, 1958.[52] O'Keeffe produced a series of cloudscape art, such as Sky above the Clouds in the mid-1960s that were inspired by her views from airplane windows.[20]

Worcester Art Museum held a retrospective of her work in 1960[15] and ten years later, the Whitney Museum of American Art mounted the Georgia O'Keeffe Retrospective Exhibition.[34]

In 1972, O'Keeffe lost much of her eyesight due to macular degeneration, leaving her with only peripheral vision. She stopped oil painting without assistance in 1972.[53] In the 1970s, she made a series of works in watercolor.[54] Her autobiography, Georgia O'Keeffe, published in 1976 was a best seller.[34]

Judy Chicago gave O'Keeffe a prominent place in her The Dinner Party (1979) in recognition of what many prominent feminist artists considered groundbreaking introduction of sensual and feminist imagery in her works of art.[28] Although feminists celebrated O'Keeffe as the originator of "female iconography",[55] O'Keeffe refused to join the feminist art movement or cooperate with any all-women projects.[56] More particularly, she disliked being called a "woman artist", she wanted to be considered an "artist".[57]

She continued working in pencil and charcoal until 1984.[53]

Awards and honors

[edit]

O'Keeffe was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters[15] and in 1966 was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[58] Among her awards and honors, O'Keeffe received the M. Carey Thomas Award at Bryn Mawr College in 1971 and two years later received an honorary degree from Harvard University.[15]

In 1977, President Gerald Ford presented O'Keeffe with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor awarded to American civilians.[59] In 1985, she was awarded the National Medal of Arts by President Ronald Reagan.[34] In 1993, she was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame.[60]

Personal life and death

[edit]

In June 1918, O'Keeffe accepted Stieglitz's invitation to move to New York and accept his financial support. Stieglitz, who was married, moved in with her in July.[20][34]

In February 1921, Stieglitz's photographs of O'Keeffe were included in a retrospective exhibition at the Anderson Galleries. Stieglitz started photographing O'Keeffe when she visited him in New York City to see her 1917 exhibition, and continued taking photographs, many of which were in the nude. It created a public sensation. When he retired from photography in 1937, he had made more than 350 portraits of her.[20][61] In 1978, she wrote about how distant from them she had become, "When I look over the photographs Stieglitz took of me-some of them more than sixty years ago—I wonder who that person is. It is as if in my one life I have lived many lives."[62]

In 1924, Stieglitz was divorced from his wife Emmeline, and he married O'Keeffe.[34] For the rest of their lives together, their relationship was,

a collusion... a system of deals and trade-offs, tacitly agreed to and carried out, for the most part, without the exchange of a word. Preferring avoidance to confrontation on most issues, O'Keeffe was the principal agent of collusion in their union.

—biographer Benita Eisler[63]

They primarily lived in New York City, but spent their summers at his family home, Oaklawn, in Lake George in upstate New York.[34]

In 1928, Stieglitz had an affair with Dorothy Norman and she lost a project to create a mural for Radio City Music Hall. She was then hospitalized for depression.[20] O'Keeffe began to spend the summers painting in New Mexico in 1929.[34] She travelled by train with her friend Rebecca Strand to Taos, where Mabel Dodge Luhan moved them into her house and provided them with studios.[37]

In 1933, O'Keeffe was hospitalized for two months after having suffered a nervous breakdown, largely because she was heartbroken over Stieglitz's continuing affair with Dorothy Norman.[64] She did not paint again until January 1934. In early 1933 and 1934, O'Keeffe recuperated in Bermuda, and she returned to New Mexico in mid-1934. In August of that year, she visited Ghost Ranch, north of Abiquiú, for the first time and decided immediately to live there; in 1940, she moved into a house on the ranch property. The varicolored cliffs of Ghost Ranch inspired some of her most famous landscapes. In 1977, O'Keeffe wrote: "[the] cliffs over there are almost painted for you—you think—until you try to paint them."[40] Among guests to visit her at the ranch over the years were Charles and Anne Lindbergh, singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, poet Allen Ginsberg, and photographer Ansel Adams.[65] She traveled and camped at "Black Place" often with her friend, Maria Chabot, and later with Eliot Porter.[40][49]

Cerro Pedernal, viewed from Ghost Ranch. This was a favorite subject for O'Keeffe, who once said, "It's my private mountain. It belongs to me. God told me if I painted it enough, I could have it"[66][67]

In 1945, O'Keeffe bought a second house, an abandoned hacienda in Abiquiú, which she renovated into a home and studio.[68] Shortly after O'Keeffe arrived for the summer in New Mexico in 1946, Stieglitz suffered a cerebral thrombosis. She immediately flew to New York to be with him. He died on July 13, 1946. She buried his ashes at Lake George.[69] She spent the next three years mostly in New York settling his estate,[20] and moved permanently to New Mexico in 1949, spending time at both Ghost Ranch and the Abiquiú house that she made into her studio.[20][34]

Todd Webb, a photographer she met in the 1940s, moved to New Mexico in 1961. He often made photographs of her, as did numerous other important American photographers, who consistently presented O'Keeffe as a "loner, a severe figure and self-made person."[70] While O'Keeffe was known to have a "prickly personality", Webb's photographs portray her with a kind of "quietness and calm" suggesting a relaxed friendship, and revealing new contours of O'Keeffe's character.[71]

O'Keeffe enjoyed traveling to Europe, and then around the world, beginning in the 1950s. Several times she took rafting trips down the Colorado River,[15] including a trip down the Glen Canyon, Utah, area in 1961 with Webb and photographer Eliot Porter.[40]

In 1973, she hired 27-year-old Juan Hamilton, a potter, as a live-in assistant and then a caretaker. Hamilton taught O'Keeffe to work with clay and helped her write her autobiography. He worked for her for 13 years.[20] O'Keeffe became increasingly frail in her late 90s. She moved to Santa Fe in 1984, where she died on March 6, 1986 at the age of 98.[72] Her body was cremated and her ashes were scattered, as she wished, on the land around Ghost Ranch.[73]

Following O'Keeffe's death, her family contested her will because codicils made to it in the 1980s had left most of her $76 million estate to Hamilton. The case was ultimately settled out of court in July 1987.[73][74] The case became famous as a precedent in estate planning.[75][76]

O'Keeffe was a legend beginning in the 1920s, known as much for her independent spirit and female role model, as for her dramatic and innovative works of art.[73] Nancy and Jules Heller said, "The most remarkable thing about O'Keefe was the audacity and uniqueness of her early work." At that time, even in Europe, there were few arts exploring abstraction. Even though her works may show elements of different modernist movements, like Surrealism and Precisionism, her work is uniquely her own style.[78] She received unprecedented acceptance as a female artist from the fine art world due to her powerful graphic images and within a decade of moving to New York City, she was the highest paid American woman artist.[79] O'Keeffe was also known for her relationship with Stieglitz, in which she provided some insight in her autobiography.[73]

A substantial part of her estate's assets were transferred to the Georgia O'Keeffe Foundation, a nonprofit. The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened in Santa Fe in 1997.[73] The assets included a large body of her work, photographs, archival materials, and her Abiquiú house, library, and property. The Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio in Abiquiú was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1998 and is now owned by the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum.[68]

In 1996, the U.S. Postal Service issued a 32 cent stamp honoring O'Keeffe.[80] In 2013, on the 100th anniversary of the Armory Show, the USPS issued a stamp featuring O'Keeffe's Black Mesa Landscape, New Mexico/Out Back of Marie’s II, 1930 as part of their Modern Art in America series.[81]

A fossilized species of archosaur was named Effigia okeeffeae ("O'Keeffe's Ghost") in January 2006, "in honor of Georgia O'Keeffe for her numerous paintings of the badlands at Ghost Ranch and her interest in the Coelophysis Quarry when it was discovered".[82]
