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.

"色と形を使って、他の方法では言えないことを言えるとわかった。" "言葉にならないことを言えるとわかった。"-ジョージア・オキーフ

歴史

アメリカの著名な画家ジョージア・オキーフの「綿の木（アビキュー付近）、ニューメキシコ 」（1943年）は、砂漠が彼女に与えた、より風通しの良い、より自然なスタイルの典型例です。オキーフは、南西部の独特の美しさに非常に親近感を覚え、そこで、しなびた木々、ドラマチックな景色、漂白された動物の頭蓋骨などを頻繁に描き、住まいとした。オキーフは、ニューメキシコ州北部のアビキウの村から12マイル離れたゴースト・ランチに住み、その周辺でこのコットンウッドの木を描いています。大胆な建築物の風景や宝石をちりばめたような花々とは一線を画す、この被写体にふさわしい柔らかな作風が特徴です。

綿の木は、青々とした緑の柔らかなパッチに抽象化され、その間からより繊細な枝が見え、青空のポケットを背景に空間を螺旋状に広がっています。幹の造形と葉の繊細なエネルギーは、オキーフが何年も前に魅了された北東部の地方樹であるカエデ、栗、杉、ポプラなどに対する過去の実験を引き継いでいる。1924年に制作された2つのドラマチックなキャンバス「秋の木々、カエデ」と「栗の木」は、それぞれ叙情的で毅然とした中心性を示す初期の例である。これらの初期の樹木画に見られるように、オキーフは色彩と形態で対象の感性を誇張している。
