"From the Lake No. 1" (1924) is reproduced from 'Georgia O’Keeffe,' published by D.A.P. & @museothyssen The editors write, "From 1918 until 1934, Georgia O’Keeffe stayed every summer at Alfred Stieglitz’s family home in Lake George, located in the Adirondack Park. The bucolic, rural setting not only provided respite from New York but also abundant material for her art. The works she did there ranged from detailed paintings of leaves, fruits and flowers to views of the lake in different seasons or the weathered barns on the Stieglitz property. O’Keeffe reveled in the seasonal changes, noticing the cycles of repetition and growth and enjoying long walks through the hillsides. Her letters are full of comments on the natural world around her describing ‘the woods and pastures all growing wild so fast’ full of ‘unexpected things.’ In 1923 she wrote enthusiastically to her friend, the writer Sherwood Anderson: ‘I wish you could see the place here – there is something so perfect about the mountains and the lake and the trees – Sometimes I want to tear it all to pieces – it seems so perfect – but it is really lovely.’ Read more via linkinbio.
