"It's not enough to be nice in life. You've got to have nerve."Georgia O’Keeffe Georgia. Georgia O’Keeffe by Alfred Stieglitz, 1918. | Ravenous Butterflies

Georgia O’Keeffe spent her life saying her flowers meant nothing more than flowers. And yet, people have been projecting meanings onto them for nearly a century. Were they about femininity. Desire. Power. Or was she simply forcing the world to finally look at something small. Maybe the real question isn’t what the flowers mean, but why we feel the need to read them at all. What do you think she was doing here? #womeninart #femaleartists #arthistory #museum #art | Irene Noren
