Cottonwood Tree (Near Abiquiu), New Mexico (1943) by celebrated American artist Georgia O’Keeffe is exemplary of the airier, more naturalistic style that the desert inspired in her. O’Keeffe had great affinity for the distinctive beauty of the Southwest, and made her home there among the spindly trees, dramatic vistas, and bleached animal skulls that she so frequently painted. O’Keeffe took up residence at Ghost Ranch, a dude ranch twelve miles outside of the village of Abiquiú in northern New Mexico and painted this cottonwood tree around there. The softer style befitting this subject is a departure from her bold architectural landscapes and jewel-toned flowers.<br><br>The cottonwood tree is abstracted into soft patches of verdant greens through which more delineated branches are seen, spiraling in space against pockets of blue sky. The modeling of the trunk and delicate energy in the leaves carry forward past experimentations with the regional trees of the Northeast that had captivated O’Keeffe years earlier: maples, chestnuts, cedars, and poplars, among others. Two dramatic canvases from 1924, Autumn Trees, The Maple and The Chestnut Grey, are early instances of lyrical and resolute centrality, respectively. As seen in these early tree paintings, O’Keeffe exaggerated the sensibility of her subject with color and form.<br><br>In her 1974 book, O’Keeffe explained: “The meaning of a word— to me— is not as exact as the meaning of a color. Color and shapes make a more definite statement than words.” Her exacting, expressive color intrigued. The Precisionist painter Charles Demuth described how, in O’Keeffe’s work, “each color almost regains the fun it must have felt within itself on forming the first rainbow” (As quoted in C. Eldridge, Georgia O’Keeffe, New York, 1991, p. 33). As well, congruities between forms knit together her oeuvre. Subjects like hills and petals undulate alike, while antlers, trees, and tributaries correspond in their branching morphology.<br><br>The sinewy contours and gradated hues characteristic of O’Keeffe find an incredible range across decades of her tree paintings. In New Mexico, O’Keeffe returned to the cottonwood motif many times, and the seasonality of this desert tree inspired many forms. The vernal thrill of new growth was channeled into spiraling compositions like Spring Tree No.1 (1945). Then, cottonwood trees turned a vivid autumnal yellow provided a breathtaking compliment to the blue backdrop of Mount Pedernal. The ossified curves of Dead Cottonweed Tree (1943) contain dramatic pools of light and dark, providing a foil to the warm, breathing quality of this painting, Cottonwood Tree (Near Abiquiu). The aural quality of this feathered cottonwood compels a feeling guided by O’Keeffe’s use of form of color.

"גיליתי שאני יכול להגיד דברים עם צבע וצורות שאני לא יכול להגיד בשום דרך אחרת - דברים שלא היו לי מילים עבורם." -ג'ורג'יה אוקיף

היסטוריה

Cottonwood Tree (ליד אביקיו), ניו מקסיקו (1943) מאת האמנית האמריקאית הנודעת ג'ורג'יה אוקיף הוא מופת לסגנון האוורירי והנטורליסטי יותר שהמדבר נתן בה השראה. לאוקיף הייתה זיקה רבה ליופיו הייחודי של דרום-מערב ארצות הברית, והיא עשתה שם את ביתה בין העצים המסתובבים, הנופים הדרמטיים וגולגולות החיות הלבנות שהיא ציירה לעתים קרובות כל כך. או'קיף התגורר בחוות הרפאים, חווה של בחורים במרחק של 12 ק"מ מחוץ לכפר אביקיו שבצפון ניו מקסיקו, וצייר שם את עץ הכותנה הזה. הסגנון הרך יותר כיאה לנושא זה הוא סטייה מהנופים האדריכליים הנועזים שלה ומהפרחים בגווני התכשיטים שלה.

עץ הכותנה מופשט לחלקות רכות של ירוקים ירוקים שדרכם נראים ענפים מסומנים יותר, מתפתלים בחלל כנגד כיסים של שמיים כחולים. הדוגמנות של הגזע והאנרגיה העדינה בעלים מובילות קדימה ניסויים קודמים עם העצים האזוריים של צפון מזרח המדינה שכבשו את אוקיף שנים קודם לכן: מייפל, ערמונים, ארזים וצפצפות, בין היתר. שני בדים דרמטיים משנת 1924, עצי סתיו, המייפל ואפור הערמונים, הם מקרים מוקדמים של מרכזיות לירית ונחושה, בהתאמה. כפי שניתן לראות בציורי העצים המוקדמים הללו, אוקיף הגזימה ברגישות הנושא שלה בצבע ובצורה.

"גבעה או עץ לא יכולים לצייר ציור טוב רק בגלל שזה גבעה או עץ. זה קווים וצבעים להרכיב כך שהם אומרים משהו. בשבילי זה הבסיס לציור. ההפשטה היא לעתים קרובות הצורה המובהקת ביותר לדבר הבלתי מוחשי שבי שאני יכול רק להבהיר בצבע." -ג'ורג'יה אוקיף

תובנות שוק

  • על פי הגרף שהוכן על ידי Art Market Research, מחירי השוק של ג'ורג'יה אוקיף עלו בשיעור תשואה שנתי מורכב של 12.7% מאז 1976.

  • שיא המכירות הפומביות של ג'ורג'יה אוקיף נקבע בשנת 2014 עם מכירת Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 תמורת יותר מ-44.4 מיליון דולר. זהו עדיין הסכום הגבוה ביותר ששולם עבור אמנית במכירה פומבית.

  • גם כאשר השוק של אוקיף רשם ירידה קלה במהלך המגפה בשנת 2020 (כפי שניתן לראות בגרף AMR), המדד העולמי של ArtPrice למחזור המכירות הפומביות מראה כי אוקיף עלה מהמקום ה-263 לאמן הנמכר ביותר באותה שנה, מה שממחיש כי ציוריו של אוקיף נותרו בביקוש גובר, במיוחד בהשוואה לביצועים של אמנים אחרים באותה תקופה.

  • בממוצע במהלך 40 השנים האחרונות, רק 4 ציורים של אוקיף עומדים למכירה פומבית מדי שנה.
