Georgia O’Keeffe, widely referred to as the Mother of American modernism, is best known for her sensual paintings of flowers, and depictions of New York structures and colorful New Mexico landscapes. By the 1920s, O'Keeffe was already considered one of the most talented painters of her generation, a feat all the more impressive for a female artist at the time.

Beyond the canvas, O’Keeffe was in many ways ahead of her time: She dressed androgynously, sporting tailored menswear cuts and dark kimonos—fashion that inspired later artists like Andy Warhol and Patti Smith. Though O'Keeffe ultimately married Alfred Stieglitz in 1924, she loved freely across genders.

"I feel there is something unexplored about woman that only a woman can explore," she once claimed.

Now the Brooklyn Museum reveals a new side of the artist with an exhibit that pairs her unique wardrobe alongside her renowned paintings and photographs. "Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern" takes visitors from her early days in New York through to her later years in New Mexico.

The exhibit "confirms and explores [O'Keeffe's] determination to be in charge of how the world understood her identity and artistic values," reads a statement on the museum website.

"Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern" runs through July 23 at the Brooklyn Museum, part of "A Year of Yes," a yearlong series of feminist exhibitions.
