Reviews
O'Keeffe's distillation of forms from that time . . . created a visual language both extremely sensual and intensely private, even though her work was meant for public display., Seventy color plates of [O'Keeffe's] works from that period--flowers, fruits, landscapes, trees, and leaves--are featured.
Synopsis
This book, and the exhibition it accompanies, examines the extraordinary body of work O'Keeffe created there, from magnified botanical compositions of the flowers and vegetables she grew in her garden to a group of remarkable still lifes of the apples and pears that she picked. O'Keeffe became fascinated with the variety of trees that grew there, and they were the subject of at least twenty-five compositions. Architectural subjects emerged as a theme, as did a number of panoramic landscape paintings and bold, color-filled abstractions. During this highly productive period, O'Keeffe created more than two hundred paintings on canvas and paper in addition to sketches and pastels, making the Lake George years among the most prolific and transformative of her seven-decade career., Although Georgia O'Keeffe is usually associated with the desert landscape of New Mexico, her professional development as an artist largely occurred during the many years she summered at Alfred Stieglitz's family estate at Lake George, in the Adirondack mountains of upstate New York. The first book to examine O'Keeffe's time at Lake George in detail, Modern Nature looks behind the public persona she created for herself in her later career to reveal a surprisingly different portrait of this widely mythologized artist. More than seventy colour plates display the extraordinary body of work O'Keeffe created at Lake George - magnified botanical compositions, studies of the trees and weathered buildings, panoramic landscapes and bold abstractions - and are accompanied by rarely seen photographs by Alfred Stieglitz. Illustrated essays by three scholars of American art explore the impact of Lake George on O'Keeffe's early career, the importance of the trees and local landscape in her work, and her emergence as an influential female artist during this period. Published to accompany an exhibition originating at The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, the book is essential reading for anyone interested in Georgia O'Keeffe and the history of American art., A landmark survey that illuminates through paintings, pastels, and photographs how Georgia O'Keeffe discovered and refined her approach to nature at Lake George, From 1918 until the early 1930s, Georgia O'Keeffe lived for part of the year on Alfred Stieglitz's family estate at Lake George, New York. O'Keeffe and Stieglitz stayed there from spring until fall, and she reveled in the discovery of new subject matter. She found respite in the bucolic setting, and in her studio, nicknamed "the shanty," she could concentrate on her work without the distractions of city life and the Stieglitz clan that congregated at the lake in the summer months. The Lake George retreat provided the basic material for her art, while evoking the spirit of place that was essential to O'Keeffe's modern approach to the natural world. This book, and the exhibition it accompanies, examines the extraordinary body of work O'Keeffe created there, from magnified botanical compositions of the flowers and vegetables she grew in her garden to a group of remarkable still lifes of the apples and pears that she picked. O'Keeffe became fascinated with the variety of trees that grew there, and they were the subject of at least twenty-five compositions.
