Autumn Trees - The Maple 1924

"Autumn Trees - The Maple" is a 1924 oil painting by Georgia O'Keeffe, known for its abstract depiction of a maple tree. The central, dark gray trunk dominates the canvas, while the surrounding foliage is rendered in soft washes of color, suggestive of the changing season. O'Keeffe's unique approach to nature, focusing on close-up views and simplified forms, exemplified her signature style. This work showcases her mastery of color and composition, capturing the essence of the autumnal landscape through a distinctly modern lens.
