Gerald’s Tree Print, O’Keeffe Ghost Ranch Landscape Art

A dry, three-pronged tree cuts across red earth in this Gerald’s Tree print, giving the artwork a harsher and more sculptural feeling than a soft landscape. The tree is not lush; it is spare, exposed, and almost bone-like. Against the warm ground, that makes the image direct and memorable without needing a dramatic sky.

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. Movements such as Fauvism, Cubism and Expressionism all grew out of early 20th-century modernism. Georgia O’Keeffe (1887–1986) is often called the mother of American modernism.
