“It was the flowers that begat the O'Keeffe legend in the heady climate of the 1920s,” declares publisher Nicholas Callaway, and indeed Georgia O’Keeffe has been a sensation since the debut exhibition of her flower paintings in 1923. Their sensuous beauty magnified to large scale has attracted both admiration and notoriety for the artist. Among her most famous and powerful flower subjects is the black iris.

Stieglitz had seen and exhibited Georgia O’Keeffe’s work a couple of years before, but when he invited her in June 1918 to live with him at his family home in Lake George, New York, thus began one of the most fertile love affairs in American art. Stieglitz had found his muse and O’Keeffe had found her benefactor. Stieglitz began the most prolific period of photographing in his entire life. It is as though he had to start over, to learn how to photograph again, in order to discover how to see and portray his new world. He photographed O’Keeffe incessantly. Stieglitz was so taken by her that he wrote to Arthur Dove in 1918, “O’Keeffe is a constant source of wonder to me, like Nature itself.”
