Originally an abstract artist she later became more of a figurative painter. Best known for her precise, heavily symbolic paintings of flowers, such as "Black Iris" (1926) and "Larkspur" (1929), she was also inspired by the landscapes of the New Mexico desert. Born into a large midwestern family, O'Keeffe showed early artistic talent. Through working as a commercial artist designing lace and embroidery in Chicago, she became interested in progressive theories of design. Discovered by photographer and influential gallery owner Alfred Stieglitz, whom she later married, she went on to exhibit in the late 1920s alongside major artists like Max Weber, Walt Kuhn, and Edward Hopper. Georgia O'Keeffe, U.S. artist, 1887-1986 In later years, O'Keeffe gained a reputation as an eccentric recluse, living with her young male lover in New Mexico. Her work of this period included a series of aerial views of the earth, and a 24-foot mural that was painted in the 1960s. CHRONOLOGY
