Georgia O'Keeffe. Black Place, Grey and Pink, 1949. Oil on canvas, 36 x 48 inches. Georgia O'Keeffe Museum (Santa Fe), Gift of The Burnett Foundation. © Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. [1997.6.30]
Abstracted view of soft clay hills of grey, black, and pink. Through the center a large stripe of black makes a V shape though the grey. Blended areas of pink on the grey are on either side of this V in the bottom half of the canvas.
After visiting New Mexico for two decades, O’Keeffe moved here permanently in 1949, a few years after the death of her husband, Alfred Stieglitz. From then on she would divide her time seasonally between her two houses in northern New Mexico: Abiquiú in winter and spring, and Ghost Ranch in summer and autumn. While exploring her new home she came across a site she called the Black Place, an area of the Bisti Badlands approximately 150 miles west of Ghost Ranch. The distinctive black and grey hills of the area proved especially captivating to the artist, and over the years O’Keeffe made regular camping excursions to the site, accompanied by her assistant Maria Chabot.
