“Morning Glory with Black” is an artwork created by Georgia O’Keeffe in 1926. This flower painting is associated with the Precisionism art movement.
The artwork portrays a close-up view of a morning glory flower, rendered in exquisite detail. The petals unfold gracefully, displaying a delicate interplay of soft whites and light blues, subtly transitioning to a faint hint of yellow at their core. To the right, a segment is shrouded in black, creating a striking contrast that accentuates the purity and elegance of the flower. The work exemplifies O’Keeffe’s distinctive style, characterized by her ability to magnify natural forms to create a more profound visual impact. The smooth curves and harmonious colors in the composition evoke a sense of tranquility and introspection, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the quiet beauty of nature.
