Contributions to Art
Her contributions to art include many things such as Feminism which is because at that time, almost all of the visual artists were males and O'Keeffe redefined and reformed gender standards. She also contributed to Regionalism by picturing the desert as a place that existed in harmony with the area and animals instead of a barren, dusty, deserted place. Two more art concepts that she contributed to was Modernism by putting her own spin on it, and Abstract Representation because she did works of art with a mixture of realism, surrealism, and slight abstractionism .
