In 1929  she began spending part of almost every year painting there  first in Taos  and subsequently in and around Alcalde  Abiquiu  and Ghost Ranch  with occasional excursions to remote sites she found particularly compelling. Georgia OKeeffe and New Mexico is the first book to analyze the artists famous depictions of these Southwestern landscapes.  Beautifully illustrated and gracefully written  the book accompanies an exhibition of the same name at the Georgia OKeeffe Museum in Santa Fe  New Mexico. It reproduces the exhibitions 50 paintings and includes striking photographs of the sites that inspired them as well as diagrams of the regions distinctive geology. The book examines the magnificence of OKeeffes work through essays by three noted authors. Barbara Buhler Lynes  Curator of the Georgia OKeeffe Museum and organizer of the exhibition  discusses the relationship of the artists paintings to the places that inspired her.  Frederick Turner offers an illuminating essay contrasting OKeeffes fabled aloofness from the well-established art colony in Santa Fe with her intense closeness to the local landscape she so fiercely loved. Lesley Poling-Kempes furnishes a fascinating chronicle of OKeeffes years in the region as well as a useful explanation of the geological forces that produced the intense colors and dramatic shapes of the landscapes OKeeffe painted.
