Which U.S. president awarded Georgia O'Keeffe the National Medal of Arts in 1985?

President Ronald Reagan awarded Georgia O'Keeffe the National Medal of Arts in 1985. The medal honors outstanding contributions to the arts in the United States.

By that time, O'Keeffe was internationally recognized and had become one of the defining figures of American modernism. Her career stretched from early abstract drawings and New York subjects to the flower, bone, and landscape imagery associated with New Mexico.

The National Medal of Arts is distinct from the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which O'Keeffe received earlier, in 1977. Both are major civilian honors, but the National Medal of Arts is specifically focused on artistic achievement and is administered through the National Endowment for the Arts.
