From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1941 pastel by Georgia O'Keeffe, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a close-up of a flower, mostly white and green with soft yellow-green centers. The petals are slightly wavy, and the edges look fuzzy. The background is plain and light, so the flower stands out. The artist used pastel on paper, which gives it a soft, almost glowing look. The colors are muted but bright in spots, like sunlight hitting the petals. If you like this style, look up pastel to see how artists use it.
Georgia Totto O'Keeffe (November 15, 1887 – March 6, 1986) was an American modernist painter and draftswoman whose career spanned seven decades and whose work remained largely independent of major art movements.
