Question

"Red Canna by Georgia O'Keeffe. A close-up painting of a canna lily plant. How does the image above fit within the Modernist mold?
a.
the bold colors represent the Modernist style
b.
the enlarged flowers become abstracted, and have symbolic meaning
c.
both A and B
d.
neither A nor B

Answer 1

c

Both statements apply: O'Keeffe's use of bold, saturated color and her extreme close-ups that enlarge and abstract the flower (giving it symbolic or emotional resonance) are characteristic of Modernist painting.
