In short: Explore how Georgia O'Keeffe broke away from classical conventions to become a cornerstone of American Modernism. This video examines her transition from traditional art to abstract experiments that captured her internal world.

Georgia O'Keeffe was a painter and sculptor whose work became a defining element of American Modernism. Feeling a sense of disconnection from the rigid rules of classical art, she began experimenting with abstract drawings that were difficult to categorize.

Her process involved identifying and utilizing the specific shapes and rhythms found in nature. By translating these natural elements into art, she was able to express her internal world, creating a unique visual language that influenced the broader movement.
