• Illustration — Ida and her sister Georgia O'Keeffe, photographed by Alfred Stieglitz Ida O'Keeffe was born in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, on October 23, 1889. She was the third of seven children.[2] When Ida was 13, the family moved to Williamsburg, Virginia, where O'Keeffe took drawing classes in summer school at the University of Virginia.[3] With her younger sister Anita and her more famous older sister Georgia, she studied art with local watercolor artist Sara Mann.[4] They also had two grandmothers who were artists.[5] O'Keeffe's artistic start was as a printmaker. She then briefly worked as a nurse before earning her Master of Fine Arts degree from Columbia University. She painted approximately 70 canvases during her career.[6] Her major themes included colorful, abstracted landscapes, and naturalistic still lifes.[7][8] A number of her works feature lighthouses.[9][10] She exhibited some works with her sisters Catherine and Georgia. Georgia gained more fame, partly because of a husband who worked as a well-known photographer and gallerist.Ten Eyck O'Keeffe is known to have said, "I'd be famous, too, if I'd have had a Stieglitz." A 1933 review in a newspaper read "Georgia remains supreme."
