In the blazing heat of August, let’s look at the color orange: by Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986), Red Canna, 1924, oil on canvas, 29 by 18 inches (73.7 by 45.7 cm), photo: Sotheby’s. #art #womenartists #womanartist A quote from the artist: “A flower is relatively small. Everyone has many associations with a flower… still, in a way, nobody really sees a flower, really, it is so small….So I said to myself, I’ll paint what I see, but I’ll paint it big and they will be surprised into taking time to look at it, even busy New Yorkers [will] take time to see what I see of flowers.”
