乔治亚·奥基弗 Georgia O‘Keeffe ）或 乔治亚·欧姬芙Georgia Totto O'Keeffe（1887年11月15日~1986年3月6日）是一位美国艺术家，被列为20世纪的艺术大师之一。欧姬芙的绘画作品已经成为1920年代美国艺术的经典代表，她以半抽象半写实的手法闻名，其主题相当具有特色，多为花朵微观、岩石肌理变化，海螺、动物骨头、荒凉的美国内陆景观为主。她的作品中常充满著同色调的细微变化，组成具有韵律感的构图，某些时候欧姬芙画中的物品外轮廓，让观者感到此物品的清脆感。

Juan HamiltonGeorgia O'Keeffe bought her first house in New Mexico in 1940. After Alfred Stieglitz died, she moved to "the faraway'" permanently. She lived in New Mexico for the rest of her life. In the early 1970s, O'Keeffe began losing her sight because of an eye disease. She stopped working with oil paints, but continued to produce watercolor paintings. Around the same time, she met a young artist who would become very important to her. Juan Hamilton made pottery, objects of clay. He became O'Keeffe's assistant and friend. They also travelled together. But in the early 1980s Georgia O'Keeffe's health failed severely. She died in 1986. She was 98.
