At which university did Georgia O'Keeffe study art in Charlottesville from 1912 to 1914?

Georgia O'Keeffe studied art at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville from 1912 to 1914.

She attended the University of Virginia during a period when she was developing as an art teacher and searching for a less conventional approach to making art. The university’s summer sessions helped reconnect her with Arthur Wesley Dow’s ideas about composition, design, and simplified form.

O'Keeffe later returned to the University of Virginia as an instructor in 1914 and 1915. Her time there came after study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and before her influential teaching post at West Texas State Normal College.

The university is sometimes confused with the University of Virginia’s later connection to other artists, but Charlottesville is the relevant setting in O'Keeffe’s early professional education and teaching career.
