Georgia O'Keeffe's 1915 series of charcoal drawings was titled Specials.
The drawings marked a decisive move away from direct representation and toward abstraction. O'Keeffe used simplified lines, shapes, and tonal contrasts to explore visual ideas that were not dependent on recognizable objects.
She sent some of these drawings to her friend Anita Pollitzer, who showed them to Alfred Stieglitz. Stieglitz exhibited them at his 291 gallery in New York in 1916, giving O'Keeffe an important early connection to the American modernist movement.
The series is sometimes described generally as her 1915 abstract drawings, but Specials is the specific title associated with the group. It predates the enlarged flower paintings for which she later became especially famous.
