GEORGIA O'KEEFFE WATERCOLORS

Georgia O'KeefFe's watercolors are not as well known but, I would argue, even more powerful than her oil paintings. Her paired down forms and direct approach, coupled with the intensity of color that watercolor is capable of, deliver a direct and visually eye-popping punch.
