These drawings  and the majority of OKeeffes works in charcoal  watercolor  pastel and graphite  belong to series in which she develops and transforms motifs that lie between observation and abstraction. In the formative years of 1915 to 1918  she made as many works on paper as she would in the next 40 years  producing sequences in watercolor of abstract lines  organic landscapes and nudes  along with charcoal drawings she would group according to the designation specials. While her practice turned increasingly toward canvas in subsequent decades  important series on paper reappearedincluding charcoal flowers of the 1930s  portraits of the 1940s and aerial views of the 1950s. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art  New York  this richly illustrated volume highlights the drawings of an artist better known as a painter  and reunites individual sheets with their contextual series to illuminate OKeeffes persistently sequential practice. Born in Sun Prairie  Wisconsin  Georgia OKeeffe (18871986) first received critical attention when her breakthrough charcoal drawings were exhibited in New York in 1916. Two years later  she moved to the city to work full time on her art. Beginning in 1929  OKeeffe spent summers in New Mexico  where she would relocate in 1949. The most famous female artist of her age  she thought of herself not as the best woman painter but as one of the best painters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665871069237,"sku":"ByrdShop_163345147X","price":51.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781633451476.jpg?v=1782411540","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/georgia-okeeffe-to-see-takes-time-9781633451476","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
