“O’Keeffe’s flower paintings of the 1920s are among her most innovative and original contributions to early 20^th century American art and to the ongoing discourse of modern art later in the century. As Elizabeth Glassman observes, “Her art does not represent an age gone by, but rather, the brilliance of an American painter whose intuitions remain as provocative today as they were when her work was exhibited by Alfred Stieglitz on the walls of 291” (Georgia O’Keeffe: American and Modern, 1993, p. 11).”
