Black Lines 1 1916

"Black Lines 1" is a minimalist work by Georgia O'Keeffe from 1916. It embodies the artist's early exploration of abstraction, utilizing simple black lines on a white background to create a sense of space and form. The work's stark simplicity and geometric lines are characteristic of O'Keeffe's early style, which was influenced by the aesthetic of modernism and her interest in depicting the essence of natural forms. The work's subtle variations in line width and their arrangement create a sense of movement and depth.
