Some of the world’s most talented and revered painters have come from America. Jasper Johns was one of America’s more influential painters, leading the art world towards a new appreciation of pop art and minimalism; away from the abstract culture and towards a more concrete style of painting. Georgia O’Keefe was known for her beautiful paintings which offered a view of America’s landscape and differed from the renderings of chaos her artistic counterparts preferred. Like other genres of art, some of America’s greatest painters had to wait until after their demise to have their creations appreciated by their contemporaries.
