Georgia O'Keeffe
I love Georgia O'Keeffe's work.
Sure, you would have needed to have undergone reconfiguring of the more primitive parts of your brain not to see something profoundly fleshly and sensual in a lot of it ... But it's also beautiful art.
O'Keeffe delights in bringing detail to our attention, not in some pedantic way but in a manner which rejoices in it. Much of her work could be pin-ups for botanists. She also creates a glossiness of the colouring which conveys both an artificial and a hyper-real texture. She brings us the PVC niche interest of the botanical world.
Sexy and sensual, playful and pretty, this is fine art to enjoy.
