was an american artis . Born near Sun prairie wisconsin, O'Keeffe was a major figure in american art from the 1920s. She received widespread recognition for her technical contributions, as well as for challenging the boundaries of modern American artistic style. She is chiefly known for paintings of flowers, rocks, shells, animal bones, and landscapes in which she synthesized abstraction and representation. Her paintings present crisply contoured forms that are replete with subtle tonal transitions of varying colors. She often transformed her subject matter into powerful abstract images. her work is definetely an inovative look at an old era. now showing at the Whitney museum of modern art.
