By the early 1920s, Georgia O’Keeffe had been using flowers as a subject for almost two decades. Through her relationship with Alfred Stieglitz, whom she married in 1924, she learned photographic principles such as enlargement. She applied this principle to the composition of her flower paintings, depicting individual blooms as if seen through a close-up lens. Petunia No. 2 was not only one of her first large-scale flower paintings, but also among the first to be exhibited—included in the seminal 1925 show Seven Americans organized by Alfred Stieglitz at the Anderson Galleries in New York.
