Georgia O’Keeffe: Trees Boxed Notecard Assortment

Although perhaps most famous for her extraordinary paintings of flowers, Georgia O’Keeffe was also fascinated by trees throughout her career—from the magnificent maples near Lake George in upstate New York to the ethereal cottonwoods that line the Chama River in New Mexico. With trees she expressed the seasonality of nature and of life itself, often in intriguing abstractions. The four paintings of trees featured here speak with great force of the subtlety of O’Keeffe's mind, the grace of her hand, and the thoughtful delight she found in the physical world. Contains five each of the following notecards: Trees in Autumn, 1920/1921 Red Maple, 1922 Autumn Trees—The Maple, 1924 Cottonwoods, c. 1952

Georgia O’Keeffe From the turn of the 20th century to her death at 98, Georgia O’Keeffe (American, 1887–1986) completed more than 2,000 works—an oeuvre that ultimately ensured her place as one of the most highly regarded American artists of all time. Among the first female painters to garner both widespread popularity and critical acclaim, O’Keeffe first came to the public’s attention during the 1920s and 1930s through her sensual flower paintings and the series of portraits of her taken by photographer and art collector Alfred Stieglitz, whom she married. In 1929 she traveled to Taos, New Mexico, and was so impressed by the desert landscape that she eventually moved to the area. There she devoted her creative energies to capturing the simple forms and spiritual essence of the land.
