Throughout the course of her life, Georgia O’Keeffe was fascinated with the natural world, and collected objects such as flowers, bones, shells and leaves to depict in her paintings. She approached these objects with an innovative use of form and color, painting them with a unique sense of freedom. O’Keeffe’s interest in the rhythm and forms of nature is evident in her reworking of themes over a period of months and even years. Rather than progressing in a typically linear fashion, she often alternated between realistic interpretation and abstraction. Shells, like flowers, preoccupied the artist throughout the early part of her career, painting them in magnification. These paintings not only won her immediate acclaim, but are also the works she is perhaps most celebrated for today.
