Artwork: Alfred Stieglitz, Georgia O'Keeffe with Pueblo Blanket, 1929-1932, Gelatin-silver print, 20 x 16 cm, National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, ©: CC0 - Public Domain.Georgia O'Keeffe, taken by Alfred Stieglitz between 1929 and 1932, captures her wrapped in a Pueblo Indian blanket. Born on November 15, 1887, O'Keeffe was between 41 and 44 years old at the time the photo was taken. Georgia O'Keeffe had a deep connection with New Mexico, especially the areas around Abiquiú and Taos, where she drew significant inspiration from the landscape and culture, including the lives and arts of the Pueblo Indians. This influence is clearly reflected in many of her artworks, where she portrayed aspects of the region's nature and culture. The blanket she wears in the photo might symbolize her respect and connection to the indigenous culture and landscape of New Mexico.

The photograph is a gelatin silver print, a medium noted for its detail depth and tonal range, which Stieglitz frequently used in his photography. O'Keeffe's choice to wear a Pueblo Indian blanket highlights her cultural and geographical ties, which deeply inspired her art in New Mexico.

For the mug design, Playfair Display was selected to showcase O'Keeffe's quote, harmonizing with her artistic style due to its elegance and readability. This font ensures visual equilibrium with the photo and subtly enhances the quote, elevating the mug to an artistic piece that reflects O'Keeffe's legacy.

Georgia O'Keeffe made this statement in the context of her experiences in the art world, which was dominated by men. With this quote, she expressed her frustration with gender roles and the way her work was often viewed through the lens of gender, rather than on its artistic merit. She emphasized that she did not want to be seen as "the best woman painter" but rather as one of the best painters, period, regardless of gender. This reflects her pursuit of recognition for her skills and her contribution to art beyond traditional gender categories. The quote is frequently cited to illustrate her independence, confidence, and resistance to the marginalizing perspective of art criticism.
