Georgia O'Keeffe’s 1936 painting Jimson Weed depicts a large white trumpet-shaped flower. The work is also associated with the title White Flower No. 1, and it is different from her 1932 painting Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1.
O'Keeffe repeatedly enlarged flowers in her compositions, encouraging viewers to notice details that might be overlooked in nature. Jimson weed was a plant she encountered around her New Mexico home, and its white bloom provided a strong contrast against the dark background.
The title can cause confusion because O'Keeffe made multiple jimson weed paintings and because the 1932 work has a closely related name. The 1936 painting is identified by its year and its simple title, while the 1932 work is the one associated with the famous 2014 auction record.
