Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 21.7 × 18.1 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 20.4 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 41.3 × 34.5 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of O'Keeffe's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 91.4 × 75.9 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Georgia O'Keeffe's "Black Iris III," painted in 1926, stands as a monumental testament to her ability to transform the mundane into the sublime. This painting, with its mesmerizing play of light and shadow, encapsulates the very essence of O'Keeffe's artistic vision. The black iris, often a humble garden flower, is elevated to an almost divine status through her brushwork.

O'Keeffe's mastery is evident in the way she manipulates scale and perspective, presenting the iris not just as a flower, but as a powerful, almost geological structure. The petals, rendered in a gradient of blacks, grays, and hints of soft blues, unfold with a delicate yet commanding presence. They curl and twist, creating a sense of movement and life that is both arresting and profound.

The dark central void of the iris draws the viewer in, hinting at mysteries both botanical and metaphorical. It is as if O'Keeffe is inviting us to peer into the very heart of nature's secrets, to confront the beauty and complexity that lies within. The almost erotic curves of the petals speak to a deeper, more primal connection to the natural world, one that is both intimate and universal.

In "Black Iris III," O'Keeffe challenges us to see beyond the flower, to embrace the beauty of form and color, and to recognize the profound simplicity in nature's designs. This painting is not just a depiction of a flower; it is an exploration of life's intricate and often hidden beauty, a celebration of the natural world through the eyes of one of America's greatest artists.
