Playing For Change: Stand By Me
“O’Keeffe’s flower paintings of the 1920s are among her most innovative and original contributions to early 20th century American art and to the ongoing discourse of modern art later in the century.

O’Keeffe had learned from her studies with Arthur Dow that in oriental art “the same theme appears again and again with new beauty, with different quality and complex accompaniments,” an observation she put to practical use by repeatedly painting the same subject with constantly changing results. O’Keeffe wrote, “I work on an idea for a…
