GEORGIA O'KEEFFE (1887-1986)

 
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.

"我发现我可以用颜色和形状来表达我无法用其他方式表达的东西--我无话可说的东西。"-乔治亚-奥基夫(Georgia O'Keeffe

历程

美国知名艺术家乔治亚-奥基夫(Georgia O'Keeffe)的《木棉树(靠近Abiquiu),新墨西哥州 》(1943年)是沙漠给她带来的更大气、更自然风格的典范之作。O'Keeffe对西南地区的独特之美情有独钟,她把家安在了她经常画的那些骨瘦如柴的树木、戏剧性的远景和漂白的动物头骨之间。奥基夫住在幽灵牧场,一个位于新墨西哥州北部Abiquiú村外12英里的花花公子牧场,并在那里画了这棵木棉树。与这一主题相适应的柔和风格与她大胆的建筑景观和宝石色调的花朵有所不同。

木棉树被抽象成柔和的绿色斑块,透过这些绿色斑块可以看到更多的树枝,在蓝天的衬托下在空间中盘旋。树干的造型和树叶的微妙能量延续了过去对东北地区树木的实验,这些树木多年前就吸引了奥基夫:枫树、栗子、雪松和杨树等等。1924年的两幅戏剧性的画作《秋天的树,枫树》和《灰色的栗子》,分别是抒情和坚决的中心思想的早期实例。从这些早期的树画中可以看出,奥基夫用色彩和形式夸大了她的主题的感性。

"一座山或一棵树不能成为一幅好画,因为它是一座山或一棵树。它是线条和颜色组合在一起的,所以它们能说明一些问题。对我来说,这就是绘画的基础。抽象往往是我自己心中无形的东西的最明确的形式,我只能用绘画来澄清。"-乔治亚-奥基夫(Georgia O'Keeffe

市场情报

  • 根据艺术市场研究公司绘制的图表,自 1976 年以来,乔治亚-奥基弗的市场价格以 12.7% 的复合年回报率增长。

  • 乔治亚-奥基夫的拍卖纪录是在 2014 年以《Jimson Weed/White Flower No.1》超过 4440 万美元的价格创下的。这仍然是女艺术家在拍卖会上的最高成交价。

  • 即使在2020年大流行期间,奥基夫的市场略有下滑(如AMR图所示),ArtPrice的全球拍卖成交额指数显示,奥基夫在那一年从第263位上升到销量最高的艺术家第63位,说明奥基夫的画作仍然有越来越大的需求,尤其是与其他艺术家在同一时期的表现相比。

  • 在过去的 40 年里,平均每年大约只有 4 幅奥基弗的画作在拍卖会上出售。
