Calla Lily in Tall Glass 1923

Georgia O'Keeffe's 1923 painting "Calla Lily in Tall Glass" showcases her signature style of close-up, simplified forms. The single calla lily, rendered in stark white, dominates the canvas, its delicate petals and yellow pistil emphasized against a backdrop of muted blues and greens. The elongated shape of the vase and the flower itself creates a sense of verticality and elegance. O'Keeffe's work often explores the beauty of everyday objects, elevating the ordinary to the level of art.
