Georgia O'Keeffe Painting Quotations

I don't very much enjoy looking at paintings in general. I know too much about them. I take them apart.

I am trying with all my skill to do a painting that is all woman, as well as all of me.

My painting is what I have to give back to the world for what the world gives to me.

Sometimes I start in a very realistic fashion, and as I go on from one painting to another of the same kind, it becomes simplified until it can be nothing but abstraction.

God told me if I painted that mountain enough, I could have it.

I see no reason for painting anything that can be put into any other form as well.

The painting is like a thread that runs through all the reasons for all the other things that make one's life.
