A stylized landscape beyond has densely packed, gray and brown hills leading back to a horizon lined with burnt orange and vivid yellow. The crossbeam sits just over the horizon, which comes halfway up the painting. Four round objects, presumably nail heads, are unevenly spaced on the crossing of the beams. The sky above the crossbeam, in the upper corners of the canvas, lightens from powder blue across the top to light yellow above the cross. A white circle near the upper right corner suggests a distant moon or bright star.","type":"LinguisticObject"},{"classified_as":[{"_label":"Caption - Copyright","id":"https://data.okeeffemuseum.org/terms/caption_copyright"}],"content":"© Art Institute of Chicago","type":"LinguisticObject"},{"classified_as":[{"_label":"Caption - Artist(s)","id":"https://data.okeeffemuseum.org/terms/caption_artist"}],"content":"Georgia O'Keeffe","type":"LinguisticObject"},{"classified_as":[{"_label":"Caption - Complete","id":"https://data.okeeffemuseum.org/terms/caption_complete"}],"content":"Georgia O'Keeffe.

'Whitney Archive indicates, 'Note: Miss O'Keeffe says this New Mexico.' Pictured in 1930 and 1935 New York (An American Place) Stieglitz installation photographs, see Appendix III, figures 38, 40, 59, 60. O'Keeffe wrote: 'I saw the crosses so often –– and often in unexpected places –– like a thin dark veil of the Catholic Church spread over the New Mexico landscape. I also painted a cross I saw at sunset against the hills near Cameron [Arizona] –– hills that look small until you see telephone poles like toothpicks going up and down and you know they are high . . . . The cross was big and strong, put together with wooden pegs.'(*Georgia O'Keeffe* [1976], unpaginated, text accompanying entry 64). The cross in this painting includes the 'wooden pegs' O'Keeffe mentions and, although, she indicates in Whitney Archive that it was painted in New Mexico, her mention of Cameron, Arizona, in reference to a cross that included \"wooden pegs\" suggests that the picture derives from the observation of Arizona landscape configurations.
