The artwork entitled “Iris 7” is a creation of Georgia O’Keeffe, an artist associated with the Precisionism movement. This particular piece is categorized under the genre of flower painting.
The artwork displays a large, close-up view of an iris flower rendered in subtle shades and hues. The petals of the flower are depicted in tones of black and grey, showing nuanced gradations and softness that are characteristic of O’Keeffe’s distinctive style. The central veins are subtly indicated, adding depth and dimension. The green stem and leaves are depicted with clear, precise lines, contrasting with the softer rendering of the petals.
