Jack-in-Pulpit Abstraction - No. 5 – (Georgia Totto O'keeffe) Previous Next


Artist:

Date: 1930

Size: 126 x 80 cm

Technique: Oil On Canvas

Tall, sinuous, wine-red, plum-purple, and kelly-green curving forms fill this vertical abstract painting. The forms grow up from the bottom edge and converge into an S-shaped curl near the top of the canvas. A bright white line slices down the background beyond the petal at the top, and tapers to a point about three-quarters of the way down the composition. Two elongated, burgundy-red lobes emerge from black shadow at the lower left. One sliver of green grows up the center, and another flares out to our right. The top edge of the painting is lined with celery green at the middle deepening to grass green at the upper corners.
