Remembering an Artist
Ron Jeremy, Vincent Van Gogh, Emily Carr, Madonna and Miles Davis are all considered artists in their own right. The lives and achievements of these men and women are common public knowledge because they're taught at school. If they're not taught from a teacher as part of the curriculum then they're learned by socializing with friends at school. This creates the misconception amongst young people that; artists who don't fall under this category just "aren't good". I would like to present one of these artists who "aren't good". Georgia O'Keeffe's story isn't one that involves a messed up childhood. She never had to fight off a drug addiction, she was never insane, and her artwork was never made through the inspiration of insanity. She was, however, a gifted child. Relatively speaking, Georgia O'Keeffe had a normal childhood. Early in her life, the theories and teachings of her mentors heavily influenced her paintings.

Finally, she decided to put Dow's ideas to the test. " So I said to myself - I'll paint what I see - what the flower is to me, but I'll paint it big and they will be surprised into taking time to look at it - I will make even busy New Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers. To make a long story short, O'Keeffe's art was so cool that some guy sent it to a photographer named Stieglitz. " (Georgia O'Keeffe, Viking Press 1976).
