Which school did Georgia O'Keeffe attend in New York before becoming a leading modernist?

Georgia O'Keeffe attended the Art Students League in New York.

She studied there in 1907 and won a scholarship in the school's summer drawing class. Her teacher was William Merritt Chase, a prominent American painter and an influential instructor. The Art Students League emphasized direct study from the model and strong drawing skills.

O'Keeffe had already studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, but the Art Students League was the New York school that helped shape her early professional training. She won the League's William Merritt Chase still-life prize during her studies.

Her later career moved beyond the academic methods she learned there. Through teaching, experimentation, and exposure to modern art, she developed the simplified and abstract visual language that made her famous.
