I've been looking into her life and works lately. For those of you who know me, she did not, in fact, give birth to herself and/or Snoop Dogg. True facts.

This site provides a nice biography as well as images to accompany it.
I like to accentuate the positive, so I'm not very good at being a critic, but you know, the thing about Georgia O'Keefe's work is that it's really pretty and all and stylistically interesting, but in my extremely humble opinion, she never did anything all that interesting. Everyone and their second cousin paints flowers, buildings and landscapes. Still, some of her works are very aesthetically pleasing - this one (entitled Radiator Building At Night) being my favorite. It's just a gorgeous image. It's just the subjects of her work that leave me feeling kind of bored, you know?
