5. Georgia O'Keeffe is known for her paintings of flowers (like the "Pineapple Bud" shown), rocks, shells, animal bones, and landscapes, in which she synthesized abstraction and representation. Her work often focused on close - up, magnified views of natural forms, giving them a sense of grandeur and a unique aesthetic.
