Black Cross Print, O’Keeffe Red Sky New Mexico Wall Art Print

A Black Cross Print gives the wall an immediate vertical force. O’Keeffe’s Cross with Red Sky places a dark cross across the length of the canvas, with red sky, blue mountains, and lower brown-green hills behind it. The image is simple at first glance, then slowly becomes more tense.

About Georgia O’Keeffe

O’Keeffe became famous for enlarged flowers painted so close that they become almost abstract. From the late 1940s O’Keeffe lived in New Mexico, where desert hills, bones and wide skies filled her paintings. Modernist art broke with tradition in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, experimenting with colour, form and abstraction.

Styling this Georgia O’Keeffe print

The abstract style and blue, red and green palette of this Georgia O’Keeffe print feel at home in modern and traditional interiors alike. In a living room, “Black Cross” works as a 24×36″ statement piece above a console, or at 12×18″ to 16×20″ in a hallway or gallery wall. Finish “Black Cross” with a simple black or oak frame: its blue, red and green palette pairs naturally with white walls, navy or denim textiles and pale oak.
