Red Hills and Pedernal 1936

"Red Hills and Pedernal" is a 1936 oil painting by Georgia O'Keeffe, renowned for her minimalist depictions of the American Southwest. O'Keeffe’s signature style is on display in this artwork, with its focus on bold, simplified forms and a limited palette of contrasting colors. The painting features a dramatic composition, highlighting the expansive landscape and the iconic Pedernal mountain, a landmark in New Mexico that the artist frequently depicted. The red hills in the foreground create a powerful contrast against the blue mountain, emphasizing the vastness of the landscape and creating a sense of depth and perspective.
