Forget the morning glories and orificial irises, with their attendant readings of flamboyant female sexuality. If there is a painting that encapsulates the mysteries of Georgia O’Keeffe, the subject of a major forthcoming retrospective at Tate Modern , it’s of something far more humble, far less glamorous. A wall with a door in it, an expanse of smooth brown adobe cored by a rough black square of absolute negative space.
O’Keeffe liked to paint the same thing again and again, until she had penetrated to its essence, unravelling the secret of her attraction. The flowers, the blowsy petunias and jimson weed, were superseded by New York cityscapes and then by cow skulls and miscellaneous animal bones, surreally aloft over the clean blue skies and dry striated hills of New Mexico.
O’Keeffe tends to do more abstract versions of natural form and a lot of her paintings consist of bright colours or browns , reds , yellows and shades. She tends to use oil paint . In a lot of her art pieces she paints skulls in the desert , the skulls are painted in a realistic style however she will either place the skull somewhere unusual or have another unusual object beside the skull . There is no particular way that the light is showed apart from where the shading is showing that the light is coming from the opposite angle.
