By using a small, ordinary flower to suggest the immensity of nature, O’Keeffe sought to undermine her viewers’ typical ways of looking.

Flower Abstraction by Georgia O'Keeffe, featuring abstract shapes in soft pink, blue, and cream colors, reminiscent of fluid, organic forms.
🌸 Spring has sprung in New York City!
Flower Abstraction (1924) is among the earliest of Georgia O'Keeffe's large-scale flower paintings, which she continued to produce through the 1950s.

Happy Palentine's Day to all who celebrate 👯♂️
These pals from the Whitney's collection are Archie, Andy Warhol's beloved dachshund, with a fluffy friend called Dog.
"You're so funny." Thanks, I have a degree in art history and need to remain employable somehow

All Day All Night is a witty and powerful exploration of sound, language, and communication. Kim's first major museum survey confronts the systemic marginalization of the Deaf community through innovative and accessible art.
