Georgia O’Keeffe enjoyed gathering natural objects, such as shells, that she brought back to her studio as inspiration for her paintings. Taken in 1937, this photograph shows the objects that surrounded O’Keeffe in her New York apartment and connected her daily life to her artistic practice.

In a November 1916 letter, Georgia O’Keeffe described watching a train approach: "A train was coming way off—just a light with a trail of smoke—white—I walked toward it...It's great to see that terrifically alive black thing coming at you in the big frosty stillness."

Before 1916, Georgia O’Keeffe had worked mostly in charcoal and watercolor. Inspired by the avant-garde artworks that she saw while at Teachers College in New York, however, O’Keeffe embraced a whole new visual world of vibrant oil paints. See “Anything, 1916” on view in Gallery 1.

Three conical green trees rise up from the base of the work and extend into the central and left portions of the piece. In the center of the image, a rounded tree with a yellowish center emerges above the green trees. Behind the central red tree and to the right, a narrower, rounded red tree can also be seen. The sky, visible in the upper corners of the work, are dark blue.

In 1928, Georgia O’Keeffe returned to her home state of Wisconsin for a few months. During this trip, the artist revisited the barns she had known in her youth. O’Keeffe described the barns as "wonderful—not what is ordinarily called picturesque—They just seem alive all the way through."

What does this painting remind you of? In the 1970s, Georgia O’Keeffe found herself drawn back to spirals. This watercolor echoes the forms seen in her early abstract drawings, likely referencing the shape of her violin head.

A blue curved stroke, in the shape of a "?" with two blue circles beneath the curved stroke. Inside the curve are two blue circles. On top of the curve, are six blue dots. The immediate circle beneath the curve has four blue dots to its left and the subsequent circle has five blue dots to its right.

In 1939, O’Keeffe traveled to Hawai’i after accepting a commission to paint pineapple plants for the Hawaiian Pineapple Company (later Dole). This trip proved immensely inspiring for O’Keeffe, who returned home with numerous paintings, including this one of a belladonna.

Two large swirling white flowers, one atop the other. The interior of the bottom flower is visible, yet the top flower is tilted upward hiding it's center. The two flowers fill the majority of the canvas, with a sliver of blue - perhaps an ocean horizon line along the top.

In her paintings of the New Mexico landscape, Georgia O’Keeffe recorded the brilliant colors of the high desert as she saw them. O’Keeffe spent hours, sometimes days, exploring the land by foot and automobile, looking for her next subject—red mountains, yellow cliffs, or purple hills.

Georgia O’Keeffe regularly experimented with abstraction and representation, finding different ways to paint or sketch the same subject. “It is surprising to me to see how many people separate the objective from the abstract,” she said. To O’Keeffe, “objectivity” and “abstraction” were intertwined.

On the side of the face closest to the right side of the paper one eye and a line delineating the mouth contrast with the other side of the face which is blank. The curvature of the jaw is the focus of the drawing, it is the boldest and strongest line in the work.

“The wind is careless—uncertain—I like the wind—it seems more like me than anything else—I like the way it blows things around roughly—even meanly—then the next minute seems to love everything…” – Georgia O’Keeffe to Alfred Stieglitz, October 1, 1917.

A large cottonwood grows from the lower left corner of the scene. Its trunk diverges into three thick branches as it rises above the ground. Soft patches of paint along the branches define the foliage. Similar cottonwoods grow in the distance. An irrigation ditch runs diagonally across the lower right corner of the scene, as well.
