The Artwork
Created in 1939, Hibiscus reflects O’Keeffe’s ongoing fascination with flowers as vessels of emotion and contemplation. At a time when modern art was shifting perceptions of scale and subject, O’Keeffe chose to magnify a single hibiscus bloom, inviting viewers to experience its presence as both intimate and monumental. The painting embodies her belief that close observation can reveal new layers of meaning in the natural world, transforming a simple flower into a subject worthy of deep attention.
