How does Red Canna (paintings) elucidate its Red Canna (1924)?
The 1924 painting, a close-up of the flower with streaks of light blue and gray, immerses the viewer in the blossom, and is meant to convey the way that O'Keeffe experiences it.In the 1920s it was believed to be among the collection of Flora Stieglitz Strauss and possibly that of O'Keeffe in 1953. It was in private collections until 1993, when it was acquired by Sotheby's in New York. It was last recorded to be in the private collection of A. Alfred Taubman.
