Looking at Paintings, Know Too Much, Take Them Apart, Georgia O'Keeffe

“I don't much enjoy looking at paintings in general. I know too much about them. I take them apart.” - Georgia O'Keeffe, doyenne of the painted desert. Convent-educated O'Keeffe also didn't enjoy hearing about the sexual symbolism of her work, insisting that any putative crotch imagery was nothing but a crock.
