In 1929, she began spending part of almost every year painting there, first in Taos, and subsequently in and around Alcalde, Abiquiu, and Ghost Ranch, with occasional excursions to remote sites she found particularly compelling. \u003ci\u003eGeorgia O'Keeffe and New Mexico\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to analyze the artist's famous depictions of these Southwestern landscapes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Beautifully illustrated and gracefully written, the book accompanies an exhibition of the same name at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It reproduces the exhibition's 50 paintings and includes striking photographs of the sites that inspired them as well as diagrams of the region's distinctive geology. The book examines the magnificence of O'Keeffe's work through essays by three noted authors. Barbara Buhler Lynes, Curator of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and organizer of the exhibition, discusses the relationship of the artist's paintings to the places that inspired her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Frederick Turner offers an illuminating essay contrasting O'Keeffe's fabled aloofness from the well-established art colony in Santa Fe with her intense closeness to the local landscape she so fiercely loved. Lesley Poling-Kempes furnishes a fascinating chronicle of O'Keeffe's years in the region as well as a useful explanation of the geological forces that produced the intense colors and dramatic shapes of the landscapes O'Keeffe painted. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eEXHIBIT SCHEDULE: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Georgia O'Keeffe Museum \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSanta Fe, New Mexico\u003cbr\u003eJune 11-September 12, 2004 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Columbus Museum of Art \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eColumbus, Ohio\u003cbr\u003eOctober 1, 2004-January 16, 2005 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Albright-Knox Art Gallery \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBuffalo, New York\u003cbr\u003eJanuary 28-May 08, 2005\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book will significantly contribute to our understanding of this phase of O'Keeffe's life and accomplishments. Lynes' essay, in particular, opens up a new aspect of the artist's work. She revisits the landscapes that inspired much of O'Keeffe's artistry, comparing each carefully with its corresponding painted rendition. She discovers how the artist walks the fine line between specific observation and playful abstraction. Her careful consideration of each pictorial structure makes us see the lengths to which O'Keeffe went in order to make these landscape forms speak to her.\"\u003cb\u003e--Kathleen Pyne, University of Notre Dame\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarbara Buhler Lynes\u003c\/b\u003e is Curator, Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, and The Emily Fisher Landau Director, Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Research Center, Santa Fe, New Mexico.
