Georgia O'keeffe Into the West

 

 

In chronological order, the O’Keeffe paintings that were inspired by the landscape of New Mexico are reproduced in this oversize volume, a companion to Georgia O’Keefe: 100 Flowers , done by the same publisher last year. One always seems driven to oxymoron in describing these paintings: an intellectual lushness of hollows and spaces, controlled forms and explosive color. The recurrent images of hill and stone, bones and flowers, and trees and sky build to an incantatory power here, providing not only an art historical record but an evocation of place akin to Constable’s England or Canaletto’s Venice. A brief essay by long-time O’Keeffe associate Bry and notes on each of the plates complete the book. –GraceAnne A.

Modern Now™
Modern Now™
Located in the vibrant artist community of Studioplex and adjacent to the impecable Serpas Restaurant, Modern Now Gallery is a rare find in the Atlanta Art Scene. Their collection ranges from thousands of rare art & architecture antiquarian books (including hard to find journals) to a wide range of artworks that span from local fringe to established Atlantan artists as well as a wide range of Modern Masters; that price from the affordably decorative to the impossibly rare. If you are visiting Atlanta or are a member of the community, you should stop by and experience the culture and the fresh perspective they have of contextualizing the old with the new, the established with the fresh, and the proven with the experimental.
