Georgia O ‘Keeffe after Stieglitz 1918, 2006 oil on canvas 76.5 × 58.7 cm || Photo by Nadia Bouzid
I have always been an admirer of Georgia O'Keefe. As an artist for the way she represented flowers as women's genitalia. "The Mother of American Modernism" as many called was often photographed and presented as a loner and severe. Her relationship with Stieglitz has always left me intrigued and wanting to know more about relationships of two artists under the same roof and the "chaos" it could be.

BIRTHPLACE: France
Born in France in 1939, Jean-Pierre Raynaud studied at the Ecole National Superieure d'Horticulture in Versailles. In 1962, he began work that included the series "Sans Interdit." Raynaud often makes repeated use of the same motifs, such as a red pot. He is interested in issues of life and death, characterized in his use of white tiles. His own house is covered in white tiles. Raynaud participated in the Venice Biennales of 1976 and 1993, and in 1981 held a solo show at Hara Museum, where there is a permanent installation of his work. He also had a solo show at ATM Contemporary Art Gallery, Mito, in 1992.
