“Ice Cave” by Georgia O’Keeffe and a photograph of an ice cave.

yeah Georgia? that’s an ice cave ? that’s a god damn ice cave? that’s the only thing you intended to paint? that’s it? just an ice cave?

all of georgia okeefes art is like this dont act surprised

It Really Is.

Staff seeing this:

Georgia O’Keeffe spent her career as an artist arguing with the male critics who refused to see any other interpretation in her work. Apparently she was incredibly frustrated with critic after critic who looked at her work and said “Oh must be a vagina”, who would then turn around and offer up various multiple explanations for her male contemporaries. It might be better to say that she really hated gendered rules/gender conformity, and while that doesn’t necessarily mean she wasn’t exploring sexuality or sensuality in her work, it also doesn’t mean that she was. 

Georgia O’Keeffe got tired of the New York scene and moved out West to reinvent herself as a Southwest Modernist and so she could work without distractions. 

Also, note that a lot of the images of her flower paintings are deliberately taken up close, which sort of messes with the entire perspective of her paintings.

Oh!! Also she designed clothes - her designs are really cool because she used fashion design as a way to throw off gender stereotypes!

Honestly, we can’t know, and I’m not an O’Keeffe scholar, but I’ve wondered a lot over the years if she wasn’t genderfluid or agendered or grey/ace, because a lot of her writings and the things that were important to her in her work strike me that way, 

tl;dr not trying to drag on this post or anything, just remember that Georgia O’Keeffe was super ahead of her time, was a founding modernist artist and also hated the way critics tried to shoehorn all her work into one interpretation that she was vehemently against.

“People expected ‘Jennifer’s Body’ to make so much money,” Fox said flatly. “But I was doubtful. The movie is about a man-eating, cannibalistic lesbian cheerleader, and that pretty much eliminates middle America. It’s obviously a girl-power movie, but it’s also about how scary girls are. Girls can be a nightmare.”
