About Coxcomb

The artwork, titled “Coxcomb,” was created by Georgia O’Keeffe in 1931 and is associated with the Precisionism art movement. This piece is classified as abstract art, reflecting O’Keeffe’s distinctive style.

The artwork features a combination of soft, organic forms rendered in pastel hues. The primary visual elements consist of flowing, ruffled shapes that evoke the delicate yet complex structure of a flower, specifically a coxcomb. Shades of pink, purple, and hints of green blend seamlessly, creating a harmonious and ethereal composition. The background is a muted, light tone, which enhances the prominence of the central forms. The overall effect is one of graceful abstraction, where the blend of colors and shapes evokes an emotional response rather than a literal depiction of nature.
