Eh, neither were too bad for female artists. Probably O%26#039;Keefe was better because she painted flowers to look like vaginas. She was operating on the male wavelength, oh yeah!
Reply:I like Georgia O%26#039;Keeffe better. She was a great artist, my art teacher went to the same college that she did and there was this story that my mom used to tell about her. She was mainly known for her flower paintings which, even though people love her today, the critics didn%26#039;t think was %26quot;serious art%26quot;. So, she went to an ugly gray barn in her neighborhood and painted one side bright red. Just plain red. When she finished the side and signed it, all the critics had to say was that she finally did some %26quot;serious art%26quot;. It gets better. At one of my mom%26#039;s old jobs, her boss had a picture of the same barn that Georgia painted. You could tell it was the same one because only one of the sides had a fresh coat of bright red paint and the rest were a hideous gray color. Freida Kahlo was a great artist all the same. I just prefer Georgia.
