Which university invited Georgia O’Keeffe to teach during the summers from 1912 to 1914?

The University of Virginia invited Georgia O’Keeffe to teach during the summers from 1912 to 1914.

O’Keeffe taught art at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville during those summers. Her teaching followed training at the University of Virginia and her growing engagement with modern approaches to art education. At the time, she was developing ideas that moved beyond academic imitation and toward personal visual expression.

This detail is often mixed up with her later study at Teachers College, Columbia University, and with her teaching positions in Texas and South Carolina. The University of Virginia connection belongs specifically to the summer teaching period from 1912 through 1914. Those years preceded the abstract charcoal drawings that helped bring her work to Stieglitz’s attention.
