After Stieglitz died in 1946, Georgia O’Keeffe moved permanently to rural New Mexico, acquiring two conventional adobe structures for her homes. In her art, she drew upon the new motifs and colors of her adopted landscape, but painted them in her distinctive style of bold colors and abstract forms. In a 1942 letter to the painter Arthur Dove she wrote, “I wish you could see what I see out the window—the earth pink and yellow cliffs to the north—the full pale moon about to go down in an early morning lavender sky… pink and purple hills in front and the scrubby fine dull green cedars—and a feeling of much space—It is a very beautiful world." #okeeffemodernGeorge F.
