: "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."
