Georgia O'Keeffe's famous painting of a cow's skull over a red, white, and blue background.
Weary of life in the metropolis, O’Keeffe began taking regular retreats to Lake George, New York, and then to New Mexico. After her first extended trip to the Southwest in 1929, her artistic interests shifted from the buildings of New York to the nature of New Mexico. In this work, O’Keeffe isolates a single skull, highlighting its jagged edges, worn surfaces, and bleached color. To O’Keeffe, such bones represented the desert’s enduring beauty and the strength of the American spirit, which is alluded to in the striped background. In 1949 O’Keeffe settled permanently in New Mexico, where she lived until her death in 1986.
厭倦了大都市的生活，O'Keeffe 開始定期去紐約喬治湖和新墨西哥州進行靜修。在 1929 年她第一次到西南進行長途旅行後，她的藝術興趣從紐約的建築轉向了新墨西哥州的自然風光。在這項工作中，奧基夫分離出一個頭骨，突出了它的鋸齒狀邊緣、磨損的表面和漂白的顏色。對奧基夫來說，這些骨頭代表了沙漠經久不衰的美麗和美國精神的力量，這在條紋背景中有所暗示。1949 年，歐姬芙在新墨西哥州永久定居，並一直生活到 1986 年去世。
