Some
of her subjects were flowers, skulls, skyscrapers
and the New Mexico landscape. She made her first
trip to New Mexico in 1917. Her earlier works
are largely abstract, but after her marriage
to Alfred Stieglitz in 1924, she began to produce
representational images, usually of natural
forms and often painted in series (as is the
example in this exhibit).
In the 1930s, O'Keeffe began to experiment with
lighting and landforms of the southwest, eventually
evolving her distinctively personal, disciplined,
and monumental style. She became a permanent
resident of New Mexico in 1949.
