Georgia O’Keeffe famously once said “I’ve been absolutely terrified every moment of my life—and I’ve never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.” Despite her fears, O'Keeffe accomplished a lot in her long life and exerted courage and strength in everything she did, whether it was painting with strong colors and shapes, dressing in strong silhouettes, or striking strong poses for the camera. 

Only two more weeks to explore the modern art and life of this fearless artist. Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern closes July 23.
