Which Georgia O'Keeffe painting depicts a red-and-yellow poppy from 1927?

Georgia O'Keeffe's 1927 painting depicting red-and-yellow poppies is Oriental Poppies. The large oil painting magnifies flowers until their petals dominate the composition.

O'Keeffe painted flowers at unusually large scale, encouraging viewers to notice forms and color relationships that might disappear in an ordinary still life. Oriental Poppies uses intense reds, oranges, yellows, and dark central shapes to create a vivid, almost immersive image.

The work belongs to a period when O'Keeffe was already widely associated with flower paintings, although she resisted the idea that they should be read as simple symbolic representations. She said that enlarging a flower allowed people to see what she saw when she looked closely at it.

Oriental Poppies is often mixed up with Red Canna, another famous O'Keeffe flower painting. Both use saturated warm colors and enlarged botanical forms, but Oriental Poppies specifically presents poppies and dates from 1927.
