A Sunflower from Maggie

ID: #954 | Modern artists | Flowers

The picture shows a painting of a sunflower. The sunflower has a large yellow flower with a brown centre and is surrounded by green leaves and stem. The painting is striking with its vivid colours and detailed depiction that emphasises the individual petals and the graininess of the centre of the flower. The background of the painting is a monochromatic, light pink, which gives the composition a warm and delicate appearance. The sunflower is generally known as a symbol of warmth, positivity and strength.

Georgia Totto O’Keeffe (1887-1986). American painter. She came to the centre of public attention at the end of World War II in New York. She painted large-scale paintings of details of flowers, captured through a magnifying glass. Some images can be interpreted as a Freudian like view of female genitals (albeit it’s a detail of irises). In her time, she was either criticized for this or, conversely, appreciated by some feminists. In the 30s, she took a liking to the north of New Mexico, which became the subject of many of her paintings (eg. Lake George ).
