how big are the oil paintings by georgia okeeffe?

Question

I was looking at georgia okeeffe paintings on this online gallery: http://www.overstockart.com/georgiaokeeffe.html and I was wondering what is the size of the original works of Georgia Okeeffe that are known to be really big?

Answer 1

they varied in size, atleast one was over eight feet wide, and several were in the size range of about 3'X3.5' and many smaller works...like any artist she wasn't restricted by limits much.

Answer 2

This is such a good question, Amitai, that I voted on it for you. Size is a very important but often overlooked quality about a work of art. I often see a painting reproduced in a magazine or on the internet with no reference to its size and , unless you know the work, you don't get a decent sense of it at all without the size. Georgia O'Keeffe's most famous painting, 'Cow's Skull -- Red, white,and Blue', is rather large at 40"X36". Most of her skull paintings and her flower paintings are about the same size. Her experimental watercolours are usually smaller. I hope people will learn to include the size of artwork they reproduce in publications.
