Which college employed Georgia O'Keeffe as an art teacher from 1912 to 1914?

The University of Virginia employed Georgia O'Keeffe as an art teacher from 1912 to 1914.

O'Keeffe taught drawing and related subjects at the university in Charlottesville after studying art and working in commercial design. Her teaching career also included positions in Texas and South Carolina, and it preceded the period in which her abstract drawings brought her to Alfred Stieglitz's attention.

Her Virginia years are important because they show that her professional life began before her fame as a painter. During this period she continued to think about how art could be taught and how an artist might work outside the dominant academic conventions of the time.

O'Keeffe later became strongly associated with New Mexico, but she did not teach there during these specific years. The University of Virginia appointment is therefore a useful biographical marker between her formal education and her emergence in New York's modernist art world.
