Georgia O'Keeffe's 1932 painting Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 depicts jimson weed.
Jimson weed is a common name for Datura stramonium, a flowering plant known for large, trumpet-shaped blossoms. O'Keeffe painted its white flower on a monumental scale, cropping the composition so that the bloom fills much of the canvas.
The painting is a clear example of her practice of enlarging flowers to make viewers look closely at shapes and edges that might otherwise be overlooked. O'Keeffe painted many flowers, but she rejected the idea that every flower image should be read only as a sexual symbol.
The work is sometimes confused with her paintings of magnolias, poppies, or hollyhocks. Its title supplies the botanical clue: “Jimson Weed” is the common name, while “White Flower No. 1” distinguishes this particular composition.
