"This piece was originally visualised by O’Keeffe as an abstract representation of a white rose. Later, when it was exhibited as part of the Art Institute of Chicago’s 1943 artist retrospective, O’Keeffe retitled the painting. I find that the newer description gives the piece a dynamic energy that isn’t present when you see the depicted form as a static flower." http://artmastered.tumblr.com/post/120554991882/georgia-okeeffe-ballet-skirt-or-electric-light
