Which art school did Georgia O’Keeffe attend in New York City in 1907?

Georgia O’Keeffe attended the Art Students League of New York in 1907.

The school was an important training ground for American artists, and O’Keeffe studied there under painter William Merritt Chase. She won a scholarship for her still life, Dead Rabbit with Copper Pot, during her time at the League.

This period came before O’Keeffe’s best-known abstract experiments. Her early academic training emphasized drawing, painting from observation, and traditional studio methods. Later, she deliberately moved away from conventional realism toward simplified forms and abstraction.

The Art Students League is sometimes confused with the National Academy of Design, another major New York art institution. O’Keeffe had connections with both the broader American art world and its teachers, but the school she attended in 1907 was the Art Students League of New York.
