Georgia O' Keeffe: Music- Pink and Blue

Georgia O' Keeffe is best known for her contribution to the American Abstraction movement and her focus on bio-morphic abstraction, in particular. Most of her paintings are focused on close ups of flowers, however she also experimented with painting urban settings such as buildings as well as animal bones. Although critiques tried to associate O' Keeffe's work with sexual ideas, that was not her intention. For instance, O' Keeffe's painting Music Pink and Blue may have been misinterpreted as female sex organs to a student of Freudian philosophy, however the painting is actually intended to illustrates her ability to use precision in order to portray sound. In the painting Music Pink and Blue, paint layers on itself and reminds me of water, creating a feeling of calm.
