Georgia O'Keeffe's turn toward abstraction: luscious watercolors of the Texan landscape and her own body

Georgia O’Keeffe: Watercolors catalogues the first major exhibition of the nearly 50 watercolors created by O’Keeffe between 1916 and 1918, while she lived in Canyon, Texas. These years mark a period of radical innovation for the artist, during which she firmly established her commitment to abstraction. While her work in Texas is often understood as merely a prelude to her career in New York City, these watercolors and drawings mark a seminal stage in O’Keeffe’s artistic formation, representing the pivotal intersection of her disciplined art practice and her allegiance to the revolutionary techniques of her mentor, Arthur Wesley Dow.

O’Keeffe’s watercolors explore the texture and landscape of the Texas desert and the artist’s own body in an exceptionally fragile and sensitive medium, representing a substantial achievement in their own right. These early works also relate to O’Keeffe’s large-scale oil paintings, which in their handling of color and texture in some ways seem to aspire to the condition of watercolor. Designed to emphasize direct contact with these beautiful works, Watercolors features full-scale color reproductions of the paintings, most of which are approximately 8x12 inches in scale, offering a powerful testament to the significance of the watercolors in O’Keeffe’s creative evolution. Also included (in a wallet at the rear of the book) is a lengthy essay by Amy Von Lintel featuring archival photographs of O'Keeffe from these years.

Georgia O’Keeffe (1887–1986) is best known for her distinctive paintings of flowers and landscapes which applied a precise, often hard-edged abstract language to evocative natural forms. Dubbed the "mother of American modernism," O’Keeffe produced more than 1,000 artworks in a career of more than 60 years.

Editorial Reviews

Review

No Southwest artist is more revered than Georgia O'Keeffe…. [a] beautiful Southwest book. -- Bill Broyles ― Arizona Daily Star

the fragility and vibrancy of the watercolors.... featuring pink snow, green steam rising from a barren landscape, and abstract blue figure drawings -- Sarah Spellings ― The Cut

Georgia O'Keeffe's early watercolor paintings: Vivid, free-wheeling and full of surprise -- Karen Wada ― Los Angeles Times

…a resolutely American original. -- Thomas Micchelli ― Hyperallergic

series of strikingly raw studies which contain the hallmarks that would later define her practice: bold, abstract shapes; gradients of vibrant colour; the juxtaposition of intimately feminine curves alongside industrially masculine landscapes. It’s a breathtaking clue about what would develop into one of the most groundbreaking and important artistic careers of the 20th century. -- Maisie Skidmore ― Another Magazine

Exquisite Book With One Mistake

Exquisite Book With One Mistake
A stunning book. Heavyweight paper is used giving the feel of a good watercolor paper. Images are scaled beautifully so one can enjoy the details of O’Keefe’s work. The only caveat is that there is a mismatched image: Plate 9 Seated Nude XI, 1917 - the image used is that of a watercolor of a house rooftop with snow (one of 3 shown). An unfortunate mistake for the quality and price of the book.Her nude series is exquisite and the landscape scenes, particularly those portrayed at night, are delightful.

If you are a fan of Georgia O'Keefe, abstract watercolor, or just beautiful artwork, this is the book for you. I do watercolor and I saw this book and decided to take a chance on it. Well it includes many amazing color plates of Ms O'Keefe's work as well as several foldout plates. This is a perfect coffee table book for anyone.
