Shadow with Pelvis and Moon 1943

Georgia O'Keeffe's "Shadow with Pelvis and Moon" (1943) is a striking example of her signature style, characterized by large-scale depictions of organic forms. The painting features a simplified, almost skeletal, image of a pelvis-like structure against a vivid blue sky, dominated by a large, white moon. This composition evokes a sense of starkness and isolation, reflecting O'Keeffe's fascination with the American Southwest and its rugged landscapes. The work's abstract qualities also resonate with the artistic trends of the period, particularly the influence of modernism.
