What was Georgia O'Keeffe's birth year?

Georgia O'Keeffe was born in 1887.

Her full birth date was November 15, 1887, and her birthplace was Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. She grew up in a large family and received early encouragement to study art. By the beginning of the twentieth century, she was pursuing formal training and working toward a career as an artist and teacher.

O'Keeffe belonged to the generation that helped introduce European modernist ideas into American art.

She died in 1986, just short of her ninety-ninth birthday, making her life span particularly easy to place historically.
