Georgia O'Keeffe's 1927 painting featuring a large red poppy is titled Red Poppy.
O'Keeffe became famous for enlarging flowers so that their petals and internal structures filled the picture plane. Red Poppy belongs to this body of flower imagery, in which a familiar natural subject becomes an intense, nearly abstract arrangement of color and form.
The title is sometimes confused with Oriental Poppies, another well-known O'Keeffe flower painting from 1927. Red Poppy and Oriental Poppies are separate works. O'Keeffe repeatedly emphasized that she painted flowers large so people would notice them, rather than allowing them to pass unnoticed in everyday life.
