Georgia O'Keeffe Is an American artist who
studied at the School of Art Institute Chicago and later on at the Art Students
League of New York. O’Keeffe was born in Wisconsin on November 15th
1887, and had had man great accomplishments during and after her lifetime. She was
prized with the League’s William Merit Chase still-life award for her beautifully
made still life which portrays a dead rabbit laying near a pot (known as Dead
Rabbit with Copper Pot). And was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
O’Keeffe is best known for her (Japanese style) abstract art of flowers which
embodies nature and the natural world. Though she created many great works and had many great accomplishments O’Keeffe suffered through a male dominated art
world and was told many times in her life that she would only amount to being
an art teacher.
As a successful student, she was able to duplicate her teacher’s paintings one being the Dead Rabbit with copper Pot which
provided her the opportunity to gain a scholarship and continue her studies.
