Which university employed Georgia O'Keeffe as a faculty member in Charlottesville from 1912 to 1914?

The University of Virginia employed Georgia O'Keeffe as a faculty member in Charlottesville from 1912 to 1914.

O'Keeffe taught art at the University of Virginia during an important transition in her career. She had studied traditional academic art but was increasingly interested in modern approaches, including the ideas associated with Arthur Wesley Dow. Dow's emphasis on composition and personal expression helped her move away from strict realism.

During her Virginia years, O'Keeffe produced abstract charcoal drawings that later attracted Alfred Stieglitz's attention. Those drawings were shown at his New York gallery in 1916, without her initial knowledge. The episode helped launch her professional relationship with Stieglitz.

She later taught at Columbia College in Columbia, South Carolina, and West Texas State Normal College. Those positions are sometimes mixed together in brief biographies, but the Charlottesville appointment belongs specifically to the University of Virginia and lasted from 1912 to 1914.
