Georgia O’Keeffe often painted abstract forms in shades of black and white, the same restricted palette she used in her dress. Her artwork’s simple lines, free flowing forms, and minimal ornamentation seamed effortlessly to her personal style. The painting here echoes the clean lines and soft shapes of a dress she made and wore in the 1920’s. Her muted aesthetic comes full circle in this portrait by Alfred Stieglitz, which captures O’Keeffe in a similar dress that mirrors her painting’s simplicity.Posted by Sarah Lukacher | Georgia O’Keeffe (American, 1887-1986).
