First Drawing of the Blue Lines 1916

"First Drawing of the Blue Lines" is a charcoal drawing on paper by Georgia O'Keeffe, created in 1916. It is a minimalist work featuring a few simple lines that evoke a sense of architectural structure. The drawing explores form and space in a way that foreshadows O'Keeffe's later iconic depictions of flowers and landscapes. The starkness of the composition and the use of charcoal create a sense of abstract expressionism, highlighting O'Keeffe's early exploration of artistic form and composition.
