Georgia O’Keeffe (1887–1986)
Georgia O’Keeffe (1887–1986) was an American modernist painter whose work redefined the boundaries of abstraction and realism. Known for her close-up paintings of flowers, desert bones, and New Mexico landscapes, O’Keeffe used bold colors and fluid forms to express emotional and spiritual depth. Her flower paintings, often interpreted as sensual or symbolic, were in fact explorations of shape, color, and perception—ways of making viewers truly see what they might otherwise overlook.

Willem van Aelst (1627–c.1683)
#art #painting #repository00
Willem van Aelst (1627–c.1683) was a Dutch still-life painter of the Golden Age, celebrated for his refined compositions and masterful rendering of texture and light. Born in Delft and trained under his uncle Evert van Aelst, Willem developed a meticulous technique that elevated everyday objects—flowers, fruit, game, and fine tableware—into luxurious meditations on beauty and impermanence. His use of deep shadow, gleaming highlights, and delicate reflections gave his paintings a quiet, almost poetic tension between realism and idealization.
