In the United States, Georgia O'Keeffe (1887–1986) has achieved near-legendary status and remains the most celebrated and recognized American painter. This fall, the Centre Pompidou will present the first French retrospective exhibition of O'Keeffe's work, produced in collaboration with the Thyssen Museum in Madrid, the Fondation Beyeler in Basel, and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe.
With a collection of paintings, drawings and sculptures from the main American collections, the exhibition retraces the artistic career of an artist whose longevity earned her the distinction of being, successively, the protagonist of the first American modernist painting, of the search for identity that marked the 1930s, and of the "Hard Edge" abstract painting of the 1950s.
From the landscapes of her childhood Wisconsin to the desert plains of New Mexico, from magnified flowers to shells, from arid canyons to riverbeds, from dried bones to massacres, Georgia O'Keeffe has never stopped tracking down the forms that bear witness to the metamorphoses of life, to the cycles of Nature.
The catalog presents the facets of O'Keeffe's work through essays by Didier Ottinger, Catherine Millet, Marta Ruiz del Arbol and Ariel Plotek, which introduce the eight sections of the exhibition: Gallery 291, Early Works, Towards Abstraction, From New York to Lake George, A Plant World, Bones and Shells, New Mexico, Cosmos.
A series of photographic portraits taken by her famous husband Alfred Stieglitz and several renowned photographers (A. Adams, T. Webb, P. Halsman, J. Loengard, etc.) enriches the catalogue, which ends with an illustrated biography and a selective bibliography.
