This flower was painted that year and shown the following February in New York as \u003cem\u003eWhite Flower, N.M.\u003c\/em\u003e — number nine in an exhibition Alfred Stieglitz called simply \u003cem\u003e27 New Paintings\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe framed flowers the way a photographer would: close, magnified, the blossom running past the edges of the canvas so that there is no stem, no vase, no room, nothing to give the scale. What is left is the thing itself — white petals turning in and out of one another, a ring of orange stamens at the centre, a few blades of dark green pushing in from the corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCritics of the day insisted on reading her flowers as images of the female body. O'Keeffe rejected that reading for the rest of her life, and resisted just as firmly being called a woman artist rather than simply an artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Cleveland Museum of Art bought the painting in 1930, within a year of its making, and has kept it ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mug carries the painting whole and uncropped, at the centre of the front — its white against the white of the porcelain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFine Porcelain — 10 oz.
