Importantly, her fame was not associated with shifting art styles and trends, but rather with her own unique vision, based on finding essential and abstract forms in nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eO'Keeffe's primary subjects were \u003cstrong\u003elandscapes, flowers, and bones\u003c\/strong\u003e, each explored in successive series over several years. Certain works went on for decades, producing 12 or more variations of an original image. Among these, O'Keeffe's \u003cstrong\u003emagnified pictures of calla lilies and irises\u003c\/strong\u003e are her most famous. Enlarging the tiniest petals to fill an entire canvas, O'Keeffe created a proto-abstract vocabulary of shapes and lines, earning her the moniker \"\u003cstrong\u003emother of American modernism\u003c\/strong\u003e.\" In 1946, O'Keeffe became the \u003cstrong\u003efirst female artist to be given a solo show at the MoMA in New York\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis introductory book from TASCHEN Basic Art 2.0 traces O'Keeffe's long and luminous career through key paintings, contemporary photographs, and portraits taken by Alfred Stieglitz, to whom O'Keeffe was married. We follow the artist through her pioneering innovations, major breakthroughs, and her \u003cstrong\u003etravels and inspirations in Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East, and, above all, New Mexico\u003c\/strong\u003e, where she was particularly inspired by the majestic landscapes, vivid colours, and exotic vegetation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47597369262316,"sku":"9783836542319","price":53.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783836542319-o-keeffe.jpg?v=1777951055","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/okeeffe-by-britta-benke-9783836542319","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
