RUBY TUESDAY - TO QUOTE GEORGIA O'KEEFFE ON PAINTING BIG FLOWERS TO MAKE BUSY NEW YORKERS SEE WHAT SHE SAW IN FLOWERS....

  "Well - I made you take time to look at what I saw and when you took time to really notice my flower you hung all your own associations with flowers on my flower 

Margaret Gosden



and you write about my flower as if I think and see what you think and see of the flower - and I don't".

    A partial flower seems mysterious, as though the shape could go on and on outside the perimeters of the photo. The colours are very subtle too.

    It's delicate and powerful at the same time. How does a painter capture such tones and shades and meanings?

    I've always liked O'Keefe's works on flowers. Her husband's influence I think gave her the perspective of the "close up." Give him credit too. Cheers from the Jarvis House

    Alfred Stieglitz was the photographer husband of Georgia O'Keefe. He mentored her and she became his muse.
