Description
This beautiful desert print, Red Hills and Bones, by Georgia O'Keefe has been custom framed. The original oil on canvas, painted in 1941, is in the permenant collection at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Georgia O'Keeffe began spending summers in New Mexico in 1929, and over the course of the next six decades she turned her brush to the richly colored scenery of the American Southwest. In this print, red hills fill the picture from edge to edge, while the bleached bones in the foreground reflect the hot, dry climate of the region. Like many of O'Keeffe's landscapes, this painting represents a location near her house, Ghost Ranch, distilled to poetic, abstracted shapes that reflect the monumentality she finds in even the simplest natural forms.The beautiful wood frame measures approximately 32"x26" |
