The exhibition Georgia O’Keeffe: Ghost Ranch Views brings together brilliant paintings of the harsh geography and spectacular color at the Ghost Ranch, the site of O’Keeffe’s most famous landscape paintings. It includes paintings of the landscape, bones, and landscapes with bones and flowers, her most iconic contribution to American modernism, such as Red Hills and White Flower (1937), Untitled (Red and Yellow Cliffs) (1940), and Pedernal (1945). In 1934, on O’Keeffe’s first visited to the ranch, she was inspired to create four paintings. She returned the next year to paint more of the eroded hills and rocky mesas and in 1940 she made it her home, when she bought a hacienda style house. Each summer afterwards, the remote site fifty miles north of Santa Fe, became the center of her creative life.
