Which art school did Georgia O'Keeffe attend in New York after studying in Chicago?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe attended the Art Students League in New York after studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She enrolled at the New York school in 1907.

At the Art Students League, O'Keeffe studied under William Merritt Chase and received a scholarship after winning a still-life prize. The school emphasized direct observation and traditional studio practice.

This period came before her breakthrough abstract drawings. O'Keeffe later rejected parts of the academic approach, but the training gave her strong control over composition and materials.

The Art Students League should not be confused with the National Academy of Design, another New York institution associated with American art education.
