"Calla Lily Turned Away" is a painting by American artist Georgia O'Keeffe, created in 1923. O'Keeffe's signature style of close-up views and simplified forms are evident in this work, where the white calla lily is depicted against a soft, pale background. The painting's composition and the subtle, almost sensual, depiction of the flower have made it a renowned example of O'Keeffe's artistic approach to nature.
