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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtwork by Georgia O'Keeffe\u003cbr\u003eText by Amy Von Lintel\u003cbr\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003e10 x 13 inches\u003cbr\u003e188 pages \/ 82 images\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781942185048\u003cbr\u003eCo-published with the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NORMAN DUDLEY INTERIORS \u0026 FINE ART","offers":[{"title":"TRADE","offer_id":49691881406692,"sku":"9781942185048","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/9870\/2052\/files\/20240828_O_27Keeffe_0001.webp?v=1787335792","url":"https:\/\/shop.normandudley.com\/products\/georgia-okeeffe-watercolors-1916-1918","provider":"NORMAN DUDLEY INTERIORS \u0026 FINE ART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
