Nothing is less real than realism.
Details are confusing. It is only by selection, by elimination, by emphasis, that we get at the real meaning of things. The Poetry of Things. This major exhibition is the first to focus entirely on the artist's depictions of objects. The selection of paintings and works on paper on display spans the period from 1908 to 1963, and explores O'Keeffe's aesthetic, emotional, and spiritual relationships with the objects she chose to paint.
