O'Keeffe and Natural Beauty
"I have but one desire as a painter - that is to paint what I see, as I see it, in my own way, without regard for the desires or taste of the professional dealer or the professional collector."
"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."
"Color is one of the great things in the world that makes life worth living to me and as I have come to think of painting it is my efforts to create an equivalent with paint color for the world, life as I see it."
"All the earth colors of the painter’s palette are out there in the many miles of badlands."
"Nothing is less real than realism. Details are confusing. It is only by selection, by elimination, by emphasis, that we get at the real meaning of things."
