Dead Of The Day: Georgia O’Keeffe, November 15, 1887-March 6, 1986

It’s been thirty-one years since Georgia O’Keefe died in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and her painting still have the power to enchant. Sensual flowers, their petals opening like vulva, and desert skulls, all  done in a vibrant color palette, made O’Keeffe one of the most distinctive American painters. If you’re ever in Santa Fe, be sure to visit the museum dedicated to her life and work.
