White Pansy
The Cleveland Museum of Art catalogs White Pansy as painting (America · 1927).
WHY IT’S INTERESTING
O'Keeffe displayed this painting above her living room couch before bequeathing it to the museum.
A CLOSER LOOK
The museum identifies this painting as oil on canvas and credits Georgia O'Keeffe (American, 1887–1986).
The museum's collection notes: Among O'Keeffe's most admired works are her close-up images of flowers whose compositions border on abstraction. In this example, a large image of a white pansy is juxtaposed against much smaller blossoms of light blue forget-me-nots.
