Black Place I, Georgia O'Keeffe, 1945,Minneapolis Institute of Art: Paintings
abstract landscape-like imagery; grey, black, and dark pink rolling forms with scalloped cloud-like shapes in foreground Georgia O’Keeffe, one of the most admired American Modernist painters of the 1900s, drew inspiration from the landscape of the American Southwest. Among her favorite places to paint was a site she called “the Black Place,” in the Bisti Badlands in Navajo country, a barren stretch of weathered hills that O’Keeffe said looked like “a mile of elephants” from a distance.
