About the painting
Weary from social duties in Manhattan that distracted her from making art, O’Keeffe spent increasing time in rural New Mexico near the village of Abiquiú, eventually moving there permanently. As evidenced here, the multicolored cliffs near her home at Ghost Ranch provided subject matter for her painting. Upon her death, the artist bequeathed this canvas—along with four others—to the Cleveland Museum of Art, an early supporter of her work.
