Consider the work of Georgia O'Keeffe. Explain how the content of her work, White Shell with Red, is expressed or emphasized by the media and techniques used. 

What will be an ideal response?

O'Keeffe's work, like her life, was unique and outside of the mainstream. At a time when abstraction and nonrepresentation was standard, O'Keeffe deliberately painted representational works based on materials she found around her home. Her images feature bright colors, simplified forms, and uncluttered compositions. She produced expressive paintings that highlight the beauty of natural shapes. O'Keeffe believed that the colors and shapes in her paintings communicated in ways that words could not.
