Georgia O’Keeffe, Wave, 1922, pastel on paper 48.3 x 63.5 cm, Image Source: Art and Artists
Voices of Music performs “La Cupis,” a movement from Rameau’s Cinquième Concert. Live, HD video from the the “Let’s Dance” concert in San Francisco, February, 2012.
All I see is an ocean wave, but the lyrical lines and gorgeous colors are why I love it. Anything more than that is above my pay grade…lol Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Gia. 🙂
I’m astonished by the variety of O’Keeffe’s themes that you’re turning up for us. I never would have associated her with waves; she’s so often associated with her flowers, or the collections of rocks, feathers, and leaves she assembled in the southwest, it never occurred to me that she might have done a wave. It’s a beautiful painting.
O’Keeffe is so associated with the New Mexico desert that I don’t think about her connection to the sea.

This is such an intriguing image. I like that I can’t be sure of what it actually is upon several attempts! 😁

I wondered where she was in 1922, when this was painted. Lake George! There are a lot of interesting paintings from that period, like this one.

Thanks for yet another beautiful selection by O’Keeffe 🙂 The foam of the wave hitting the shore appears to be filled with opportunities.
