Banana Flower No.1 1933 20th Century 22 in. x 15 in. (55.88 cm x 38.1 cm) Georgia O'Keeffe (Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, 1887 - 1986, New Mexico) Primary Object Type: Drawing Medium and Support: charcoal on paper Credit Line: Arkansas Arts Center Foundation Collection: Purchase, Tabriz Fund and Museum Purchase Plan of the NEA. 1974.011.008 Accession Number: 1974.011.008 Comments: In 1935 Banana Flower No. 1 was selected for an exhibition in Stieglitz's new Intimate Gallery. Because of O'Keeffe's attention to flowers, including such rich portrayals, many critics and art historians have added layers of meaning or inference to these paintings and drawings. Even in the face of their reactions the artist maintained that the flowers are iconographically simple. She once stated, "I will make even busy New Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers."
