About the Artwork

Georgia O’Keeffe. Red Hills and Sky, 1945. Oil on canvas, 30 x 40 inches. Georgia O'Keeffe Museum (Santa Fe), Gift from the Estate of Mrs. Eugene McDermott. © Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. [2019.15]
This painting can be viewed as an organic abstraction contemplating the intersection of an expansive flat of blue sky and the V shape of the sandy red hills below.

Georgia O’Keeffe made this painting at Ghost Ranch, the first of the two homes she purchased in northern New Mexico. Reflecting on the scene, she later explained:
A little way out beyond my kitchen window at the Ranch is a V shape in the red hills. I passed the V many times—sometimes stopping to look as it spoke to me quietly. I one day carried my canvas out and made a drawing of it. The shapes of the drawing were so simple that it seemed scarcely worthwhile to bother with it any further. But I did a painting—just the arms of two red hills reaching out to the sky holding it.
