Georgia O'Keeffe Country

Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) was a major American modernist artist of the twentieth century. Her art 'revolutionized' the way to depict landscape. She freed the rigid and traditional way of depicting landscape. Her paintings are an expression of the emotions of what she saw.

She fell in love with New Mexico, its desert landscape, its diversify beauty, its raw energy, its simple architectural lines and its soft colors.

Although her artworks count above two thousand pieces, and even though she is most famous for her oversized flowers paintings, she dedicated much of her work to the stunning 'land of enchantment'.
In return for these amazing 'statements' of New Mexico's striking landscape, Abiquiu and its surrounding areas, where she lived are now surnamed "Georgia O'Keeffe Country".
A well deserved recognition, as it is impossible to mention Santa Fe without talking about O'Keeffe.
The Georgia O'Keeffe museum is dedicated to here life and her art and exhibitions change three times a year.
