Georgia Totto O’Keeffe (November 15, 1887 – March 6, 1986) was an American artist. She is associated with the American Southwest, where she found artistic inspiration, and particularly New Mexico, where she settled late in life. O’Keeffe has been a major figure in American art since the 1920s. She is chiefly known for paintings in which she synthesized abstraction and representation in paintings of flowers, rocks, shells, animal bones and landscapes. Her paintings present crisply contoured forms that are replete with subtle tonal transitions of varying colors. She often transformed her subject matter into powerful abstract images.

When Georgia O’Keeffe first set eyes on a dilapidated Spanish colonial ruin used as a pigsty in the village of Abiquiu, she saw what few others did: its potential.

I always enjoyed her work. Often surreal, her paintings have a sublime quality, celebrating nature.

I got to spend 5 days in Abiquiu last month. It was wonderful to see the landscape that Georgia O’Keeffe painted.

The photo of Georgia O’Keeffe’s Home & Studio (tour office) is adjacent to the Abiquiu Inn. This is only the tour office and was never O’Keeffe’s home.
