关于作品

Georgia O’Keeffe had a special talent for defining the essential character of a place. Throughout her life, she was attracted to places that represented extremes—the man-made canyons in New York City and the desert landscapes of the Southwest. In the 1920s she made several summer visits to York Beach, Maine, finding refuge from the heat and hustle of New York. Blue Sea with Rocks is from her third season there, in 1922.

At first glance the composition reads as a flat image—perhaps pure abstraction. Then the flatness shifts and becomes infinite depth as we note the white streak marking the horizon. Colors catch our attention—greens in the water and brown, green, and lavender in the rocks. The deep blue of the open ocean fades to lighter tones in the shallow cove. The brown face of the upper rock reveals that the light comes from over the artist’s right shoulder. Abstraction, which earlier in O’Keeffe’s career had been a pure pursuit, has given way to a portrait of a bright summer afternoon.

Georgia O'Keeffe当时的生活

完整生平
  1. February 1921

    Her portraits in Stieglitz’s retrospective

    Stieglitz’s photographs of O’Keeffe were included in his retrospective exhibition at the Anderson Galleries; many were nudes, and it created a public sensation.

  2. 1922

    Critic Paul Rosenfeld reads “womanhood” into her pictures

    The journalist Paul Rosenfeld wrote that the essence of very womanhood permeated her pictures, seeing her colours and shapes as metaphors for the female body. O’Keeffe rejected this reading for decades: in her view, people who read erotic symbols into her paintings were really talking about their own affairs.

  3. from 1923

    Becomes a fashionable, well-paid artist

    With Stieglitz’s support her landscapes and still lifes — her flowers above all — began to be shown actively, and she became a fashionable and highly paid artist.

  4. 1924

    A show beside Stieglitz’s photographs

    Stieglitz arranged a show of O’Keeffe’s works alongside his own photographs at the Anderson Galleries and in the following years helped to organise other exhibitions of her work.

    Married: Alfred Stieglitz
