乔治亚·欧姬芙Georgia O'Keeffe（1887– 1986），被誉为“美国现代主义之母”的著名艺术家。她喜欢住在沙漠地带，美国西南部、德州、新墨西哥州等地都有她作画的意象和足迹，她喜欢穿黑色或白色的衣服，搜集沙漠中动物的骨骸挂在墙上、门上。

欧姬芙的作品出现的意象一律是花、骨骸、风景的局部，因而形成半抽象的构图，亦即“部分化”的手法运用，所以虽难归属为纯粹的抽象画家，不过简洁的色面，笔调平滑单纯，背景空旷，倒也近似抽象绘画的意境。她的作品中的构成不管是风景或花卉，都溶入暗喻着女性性器官的形状。

If there is one place most commonly associated with Georgia O’Keeffe, it is New Mexico. When the artist first visited in 1917, she exclaimed: “Well! Well! Well! This is wonderful. No one told me it was like this.” The dusty landscapes and desert foliage inspired some of her most famous paintings.

The artist traveled to the island for nine weeks in 1939 and painted Hawaii’s lush, colorful flora. As Sarah Cascone reports for Artnet News, 17 of these works are now reunited at the New York Botanical Garden, where visitors can also view the beautiful, diverse plants and flowers that inspired O’Keeffe during her visit. I was astonished—it was so beautiful. 

The colossal acrylic painting, measuring an impressive 215-by-518 centimeters, appears joyful and almost celebratory upon first impression, with intensely psychedelic colors and abstract organic shapes.
