On Sunday the Minneapolis Institute of Arts unveils Georgia O’Keeffe: Circling Around Abstraction on its third and final tour stop. Through Jan. 6, attendees will be able to view in person 42 of the legendary artist’s pastels, charcoals, watercolors, pencil drawings, oils and sculptures embodying her creative voice and continued persuit of the abstract.

Here’s a brief introduction from the MIA:
O'Keeffe's exploration of abstraction placed her at the forefront of the American avant-garde. While most retrospective exhibitions of O'Keeffe's art begin, appropriately, with her breakthrough abstract charcoal drawings of 1915, the fact that she continued to paint in this mode throughout her career is almost always overshadowed by the popularity of her more representational canvases. Like many of her peers, she took daring risks as she worked, experimenting adventurously with color, scale, and composition. What truly distinguished O'Keeffe from her contemporaries, however, was her innovative and consistent approach to abstraction: an approach rooted not in esoteric theories and rigid, grid-oriented geometry, but rather in a highly personal interpretation of her subject matter that she consistently realized through a unique vocabulary of circular forms.
