Landscapes and plant motifs, paintings of flowers, skyscrapers of New York, bones of cattle that she brings back from her walks and walks in the Indian deserts – as evidenced by Ram’s Head, White Hollyhock-Hills made in 1935: Georgia O’Keeffe (born November 15, 1887 in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, and died March 6, 1986 in Santa Fe, New Mexico at the age of 98) is one of the greatest figures of North American art who marked the XXe century. Through nearly a hundred drawings, paintings and photographs, the Center Pompidou presents in Paris a retrospective of his works which celebrates “an art resolutely attached to the sensitive world and its symbolic resources”. If in the interwar period, she discovered New Mexico where she settled, she would embody freedom, in love with wide open spaces and wild, organic and sensual nature, until the end of her life. . Here is an excerpt in pictures.
