General Remarks
Whitney Archive indicates, "Painted in 1930. Exam. at Amer. Place, March 1946. . . . No sig. . . . No. 7 in 1931 exh." Abiquiú Notebooks indicates, "Note: Belonged first to Gary Cooper." Series renumbered by O'Keeffe and Doris Bry in 1970. O'Keeffe wrote: "In the woods near two large spring houses, wild Jack–in–the–pulpits grew –– both the large dark ones and the small green ones. The year I painted them I had gone to the lake early in March. Remembering the art lessons of my high school days, I looked at the Jacks with great interest. I did a set of six paintings of them. The first painting was very realistic. The last one had only the Jack from the Flower" (Georgia O'Keeffe [1976], unpaginated, text accompanying entry 41). (Source: Lynes, 1999)
