"One paints what is around" Georgia O'KeeffeI'm a huge fan of her paintings of flowers as well as these receive got really much influenced my ain approach to developing macro perspectives on cacti as well as succulents. I also dearest her landscapes as well as her might to encounter a rich as well as colourful linguistic communication inside the landscape of Northern New Mexico

My Georgia O'Keeffe Month
Back inwards 2007 I did a projection on Georgia O'Keeffe which I recorded on this blog. It was prompted yesteryear my July 2006 see to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I was a fan when I went as well as came away an fifty-fifty bigger one.The Georgia O'Keeffe museum was stunning. I've felt an affinity alongside the operate of Georgia O'Keeffe as well as her approach to fine art (her focus on landscapes, macro flowers as well as colour) for some fourth dimension as well as receive got been bully to know how she achieves such deceptively uncomplicated images. I've been wanting to move to the museum for a really long fourth dimension - on the reason that you lot can't musical rhythm out seeing fine art 'up closed as well as personal' every bit an assistance to agreement fine art - as well as was non disappointed.
Subsequently I wanted to notice out to a greater extent than almost Georgia O'Keeffe as well as her art, her flowers as well as her landscapes. Here's a tape of the posts I published inwards 2007 as well as subsequently. These posts tape the procedure of regain as well as my conclusions every bit I studied her art.
I adore flowers as well as images of flowers as well as bask the procedure of developing artwork based on a bloom or flowers every bit much every bit looking at the halt result. In developing my ain operate I've acquire increasingly drawn to the notion of exploring the bloom through focusing on the construction of a unmarried bloom. I instantly desire to encounter how I tin railroad train farther as well as this is what this calendar month volition last all about. Naturally, inwards wanting to acquire to a greater extent than almost how best to create this, I've acquire really interested inwards the operate of Georgia O'Keeffe - thence Georgia O'Keeffe month!
As you lot know I've been hunting downwards useful books for my Georgia O'Keeffe month. On Friday, I bought "Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Collections (Volume 2)" yesteryear Barbara Buhler Lynes at Kew Gardens. Having instantly had a jeopardy to facial expression through this mass - which is the correct agency to depict a mass which is mainly total page plates of color images of her operate - I've come upward to a few conclusions.
I've included some quotations from Georgia O'Keeffe which I copied downwards when I visited the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum inwards Santa atomic issue 26 terminal year.
I'm trying to acquire to grips alongside Notan - using "Composition" the mass yesteryear Arthur Wesley Dow, get-go published inwards 1899, which was Georgia O'Keeffe's bible when she went through the same process.
This postal service follows on from Learning almost Notan #1. I thought I'd percentage something almost what Dow has to state almost Notan - the Japanese concept involving the placement of lights as well as darks adjacent to the other to read every bit apartment shapes on the two-dimensional surface - as well as harmony inwards 2 value designs as well as and so how this tin apply to compositions involving flowers.
I've been finding it really hard to trim down to but 2 value Notan. Although I empathise the principles, it would appear my encephalon does non desire to play!
Also included are reviews of books almost her art
"O'Keeffe" yesteryear Britta Benke (subtitle Georgia O'Keeffe, 1887-1986, Flowers of the Desert) is a first-class as well as really informative book. It's also a consummate bargain, beingness available for an amazing cost whichever province you lot alive in.
I also published posts almost her operate on other blogs
Georgia O'Keeffe's favourite 'place to paint' landscapes was northern New Mexico. My personal persuasion is that her landscapes although less good known are but every bit worthy of populace attending as well as acclaim every bit her really famous paintings of flowers.
Summary review: HIGHLY RECOMMENDEDThe landscape of New United Mexican U.S.A. is but a potent motif inwards Georgia O'Keeffe's operate every bit her pop flowers. This mass explores the locations she painted inwards as well as analyses her approach to her landscape operate inwards New Mexico. It provides insight into both the graphic symbol of the place, the painter as well as the person.
I dearest this video of her talking almost her operate on YouTube
I dearest this quotation of what Georgia had to state to those people who developed their ain (often perverse) ideas almost what her bloom paintings were about.
Nobody sees a flower, really, it is so small. We haven't fourth dimension - as well as to encounter takes fourth dimension similar to receive got a friend takes time.
If I could pigment the bloom precisely every bit I encounter it no 1 would encounter what I encounter because I would pigment it pocket-size similar the bloom is small.
So I said to myself - I'll pigment what I encounter - what the bloom is to me but I'll pigment it large as well as they volition last surprised into taking fourth dimension to facial expression at it - I volition brand fifty-fifty busy New Yorkers accept fourth dimension to encounter what I encounter of flowers.
...Well, I made you lot accept fourth dimension to facial expression at what I saw as well as when you lot took fourth dimension to actually notice my bloom you lot hung all your ain associations alongside flowers on my bloom as well as you lot write almost my bloom every bit if I shout out upward as well as encounter what you lot shout out upward as well as encounter of the bloom - as well as I don't.
Georgia O'Keeffe
