b) Georgia O’Keeffe

Georgia O’Keeffe, an American artist, is famous for her detailed paintings of flowers and New Mexico landscapes. Her large-format flower paintings, which often feature close-up views, are particularly notable for their vibrant colors and intricate details. O’Keeffe’s work in New Mexico, where she lived for much of her later life, is characterized by its depiction of the stark and rugged beauty of the desert landscape. Her unique style, which combined elements of abstraction and representation, made her one of the most significant American artists of the 20th century and a pioneer in the American modernism movement.
