Georgia O'Keeffe Quotations
I decided that if I
could paint that flower in a
huge scale, you could not
ignore its beauty. --
Georgia O'Keeffe
Before I put a brush to
canvas, I question, "Is this
mine? . . . Is it influenced
by some idea which I have
acquired from some man?" . .
. I am trying with all my
skill to do a painting that
is all of women, as well as
all of me. -- Georgia
O'Keeffe
Marks on paper are free --
free speech -- press --
pictures all go together I
suppose. -- Georgia O'Keeffe
Quote
When you take a flower in
your hand and really look at
it, it's your world for the
moment. I want to give that
world to someone else. Most
people in the city rush
around so, they have no time
to look at a flower. I want
them to see it whether they
want to or not. -- Georgia
O'Keeffe Quote
I don't very much enjoy
looking at paintings in
general. I know too much
about them. I take them
apart. -- Georgia O'Keeffe
Quote
I hate flowers -- I paint
them because they're cheaper
than models and they don't
move. -- Georgia O'Keeffe
Quote
You get whatever
accomplishment you are
willing to declare. --
Georgia O'Keeffe Quote
