Black Iris III 1926

Georgia O'Keeffe's "Black Iris III" (1926) is a striking example of her signature style of magnified floral forms. The painting focuses on a close-up view of a single black iris, highlighting its smooth, curving petals and contrasting shades of purple, black, and white. O'Keeffe's use of bold colors and simplified shapes creates a sense of both beauty and mystery in the artwork. The iconic image has made "Black Iris III" a recognizable piece of 20th-century American art.
