Near Abiquiu, New Mexico

Georgia O'Keeffe

1930 · Oil on canvas · Modern and Contemporary Art

The quality of light in New Mexico enabled O'Keeffe to see clearly over great distances. Even in small paintings such as this she conveyed that expansiveness, emphasizing the successive rows of sand hills seen from a somewhat elevated perspective.
