From the Paper:

"Georgia O'Keefe's artwork has always been of great interest to journalists, critics and scholars who follow famous and talented people. But her many paintings and drawings - from New Mexico, New York City, and Lake George in the Adirondacks - are her truly lasting treasures, not what people say about them. O'Keefe's many paintings and drawings have stirred the emotions and spirits of millions of people who know little or nothing about art. And the exquisiteness, originality, and timeless beauty of her paintings will endure for as long as there are people to see them."
