@tgraph52 When she was in NYC? She is my all-time favorite artist and human being

Georgia O’Keeffe: “My New Yorks”

In 1924 the artist and her husband, Alfred Stieglitz, moved into the Shelton Hotel, then the world’s tallest residential skyscraper. The hotel’s stunning views inspired O’Keeffe to explore midtown Manhattan’s soaring geometries: she experimented across media and scale and with various subjects, forms, and perspectives during an energetic five-year period beginning in 1925.

@tgraph52 I love that one, especially on a full-moon night

@gemswinc

Art is always nicer in person, Maybe some day...

@gemswinc

I always liked this photograph by Ansel Adams of O'Keeffe and Stieglitz

@tgraph52 I'd not seen that one, 🙏 I love the ones he took of her, not so much their later trajectory

@tgraph52 I've not had the pleasure of her museum in Santa Fe

@gemswinc

it's extensive, and constantly changing. We went with another couple who weren't interested and practically sprinted through it... We took our time but really could have spent more.

@tgraph52 Maybe someday

@gemswinc

Santa Fe is a 5 hour drive from here and the couple we knew who lived close by it have moved away. It's an interesting place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.

@tgraph52 I visited NM, one year for the Sand Hill Crane Festival. Got to Albuquerque but not Santa Fe

@gemswinc

I still haven't made it to the Bosque for the migration. We've driven through a few times, but off-season.

@tgraph52

Definitely eye opening in terms of where she took her love of patterns, eventually going from these early man-made angularity to shapes and patterns in nature.

But even these earlier cityscapes are great.

Thanks for sharing these. :)
