The Black Place was Georgia O’Keeffe’s name for one of her favorite locations to paint, discovered as she toured New Mexico in her Model A Ford. Located in the Bisti Badlands about 150 miles from Ghost Ranch, the dude ranch north of Abiquiu where O’Keeffe lived in the summer, the Black Place featured a landscape of numerous black and gray hills. O’Keeffe later described the terrain as looking β€œlike a mile of elephantsβ€”grey hills all about the same size with almost white sand at their feet.” In The Black Place, she emphasized the rolling continuity of the rounded hills.

Georgia O’Keeffe could see the dramatic geological formation known as the White Place, or Plaza Blanca, from a window in her home near Abiquiu, New Mexico. Composed of white stone that provides a stark contrast to the colors of the surrounding terrain, the White Place was whittled and smoothed by water and wind over centuries into a striking formation resembling columns, cliffs, and spires. O’Keeffe painted it a number of times, and in The White Place in Sun, she selected a view that emphasizes a deep cleft in the formation. The V-shaped composition enabled her to focus on the interplay between the brilliant blue sky, the eerie white color, and horizontal striations of the carved rock.

Landscape. Urban. Architecture.
Georgia Oβ€˜Keeffe produced more than twenty scenes of New York City between 1925 and 1930. Here, the power and presence of the modern era are epitomized in the city’s thrusting architecture. During the first half of the 1900s, skyscrapers came to exemplify U.S. ingenuity. O’Keeffe reduced these immense buildings to simple geometric forms that converge in the upper reaches of the dark canvas, towering even above the moon. She places the viewer between these architectural giants. We might feel small in their midst, forced to crane our necks skyward to take it all in, or we might marvel at the staggering feats of engineering that soar above our heads. The brightly glowing moon offers a round contrast to the super-straight lines of the city.

In the 1920s, Georgia O’Keeffe began concentrating on representing enlarged still-life elements with carefully realistic handling. Although known more for her flower paintings, she frequently depicted leaves, inspired by the examples she found on her walks around Lake George in upstate New York, where she summered with her husband, Alfred Stieglitz, between 1918 and 1928. In Yellow Hickory Leaves with Daisy, O’Keeffe painted the leaves around the small white daisy at lower center so that they seem to be emanating from the flower. She hoped that the strangely magnified subjects would inspire viewers to, as she said, β€œbe surprised into taking time to look at” them in a new way.
