On what date was American painter Georgia O'Keeffe born?

Georgia O'Keeffe was born on November 15, 1887.

She was born in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, to Francis Calyxtus O'Keeffe and Ida Totto. Her family lived on a farm, and she was one of seven children. Her early education included art lessons, an uncommon opportunity for many girls in rural America at the time.

O'Keeffe's long career crossed several major phases of American art. She trained academically, experimented with abstraction, became associated with modernist photography circles in New York, and later developed a highly distinctive visual language based on flowers, bones, architecture, and desert landscapes.

The date is sometimes confused with dates connected to her exhibitions or moves to New Mexico. November 15, 1887, is her birth date; she died nearly a century later, in 1986, in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
