Drawing V 

Georgia O'Keeffe created "Drawing V" using charcoal on paper. O’Keeffe emerged as an artist in a period where the art world was dominated by men and their representations of women. She confronted gendered expectations by asserting her own vision, stating, “Men put me down as the best woman painter…I think I’m one of the best painters.” "Drawing V" is a study in abstraction, yet it evokes organic forms, and the interplay of light and shadow gives it a palpable sense of depth. The ambiguity in her work allows for multiple interpretations, from the botanical to the bodily. Her works can be seen as developing alternative narratives to the established male gaze. O’Keeffe used abstraction to evoke profound emotions and challenge conventional ways of seeing. Her art offers a space for viewers to bring their own experiences and interpretations, making the act of viewing a deeply personal and subjective experience.
