"White Flower," Georgia O'Keefe, 1929.
O'Keefe (1887-1986) is an ultra-famous painter, even today. Her studies of plants from extreme close-ups are topics of debate and conversation forty years after her death.
Many felt, and still feel today, that her work was an exploration of female anatomy and sexuality, but O'Keefe always vehemently denied it. Her reasoning was that by studying organic forms in extreme close-up, she reduced them to studies in color, pattern, and form.
No matter how you interpret her work, it's still worth checking out.Happy Flower Friday!

"The Great Parade," Fernand Léger, 1954.
Léger (1881-1955) was a painter, sculptor, and filmmaker, first starting off in his own style of Cubism that he called "Tubism," then branching off into a more general Modernist style that many feel prefigured Pop Art.
He had some interesting viewpoints, one being that in Modern art, the painting itself should be what draws attention, rather than merely the subject, an interesting viewpoint. (And it makes sense in the post-photography world.)
But he also felt that art should be for everyone, not just wealthy connoisseurs, and this painting is an expression of that. Here we have his rendition of a circus parade, with dancers, acrobats, and clowns all carrying on, entertainment for common people. There's even a big red C for "cirque". We also have what seem to be cameras surrounding the figures as well. The outlined figures overlaid with broad swaths of color is an arresting visual element that draws the eye. It's regarded as his masterwork.
