The artwork titled “Hibiscus with Plumeria,” created by Georgia O’Keeffe in 1939, is a notable example of the Precisionism art movement. This flower painting intricately depicts the delicate forms and vibrant colors of a hibiscus and plumeria.
The artwork features a prominent hibiscus flower, rendered in soft shades of pink, with its petals unfolding gracefully against a vibrant blue sky. Adjacent to the hibiscus, a plumeria flower is depicted in warm hues of white and yellow, its petals intertwining harmoniously with the hibiscus. The use of vivid colors and detailed brushwork highlights the natural beauty and intricate structures of the flowers, characteristic of the Precisionism movement’s focus on clarity and precision in art. The background, with its gradient shades of blue and hints of orange and yellow, enhances the overall composition, creating a striking yet serene visual experience.
