Artwork Title: Georgia O’Keeffe

Georgia O’Keeffe, 1953

Laura Gilpin

For her first sitting with Laura Gilpin, O’Keeffe wore an all-white ensemble: a blouse, jacket, and broomstick skirt, accessorized with one of her round silver Navajo pins. Gilpin shot O’Keeffe in the Abiquiu studio from a low vantage point, making the artist’s tools a still life within the portrait. The varied tones and folds of O’Keeffe’s white ensemble are skillfully arrayed against the cooler and smoother whites of the clay wall and still, Gilpin, who lived in and photographed the American West, was the first woman to ask O’Keeffe to sit for her. They became friends, and Gilpin returned to photograph the artist and her two homes on two more occasions. (https://designlifenetwork.com/georgia-okeeffe-living-modern-virtual-tour/)
