Where can i find more info on Georgia O' Keefe painting Red Cannas 1927?
In the early twenties, O'Keeffe began to paint the flowers that she felt people in the city overlooked. She was noted to state, "Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not." She had been doing many smaller paintings of flowers for years, but she now turned to creating them larger than life, with a air of sensuality, such as the Red Canna, from 1923. These flowers are some of her most popular work today.
