Georgia O'Keeffe- My favourite artist

Two of the most remarkable American artists of the early 20th century, Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz who were initially lovers and later married, also shared a relationship in art in which they were both so intimately involved. After visiting Georgia O’Keeffe’s work alongside that of her husband’s, Alfred Stieglitz, at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, January, 2005 and at the Tate Modern in London, December, 2005, one becomes aware of the profound influence that they had upon each other. She became his muse and inspired him to produce some of the most sensual figure portraits while he helped her establish herself in the art world.
