“One day I found myself saying to myself, 'I can't live where I want to. I can't even say what I want to!' I decided I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to.” - 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.
