National Wildlife Museum Exhibits 'O'Keeffe: Unexplainable Thing In Nature'

JACKSON HOLE, WYO.

:"Georgia O'Keeffe: The Unexplainable Thing In Nature" will be at the National Museum of Wildlife Art on 2820 Rungius Road through October 2. Curated by Gerald Peters of Gerald Peters Gallery - Santa Fe, Dallas and New York City - this exhibit takes a look at O'Keeffe's work through the unifying theme of nature.

O'Keeffe said, "It is the unexplainable thing in nature that makes me feel the world is big far beyond my understanding." She painted a variety of subjects related to nature, from flowers and bones to landscapes of her beloved Southwest. This show underscores her unique, intense and at times transcendental celebrations of all things natural.

"Nature, and the essence of things, are central focal points in O'Keeffe's art," said Peters. "Thus it is appropriate for the museum in Jackson Hole dedicated to the natural world to host an exhibition celebrating O'Keeffe's sympathy for the American landscape and its natural objects."

O'Keeffe is one of the monumental figures of American art, he added, noting, "Her unique, wholly original style is located somewhere between abstraction and realism, in a place where even the seemingly simplest works often present the viewer with layers of depth and meaning."
