After first visiting New Mexico in 1929, Georgia O’Keeffe spent decades capturing the striking landscapes of the American Southwest. In this painting, vivid red hills stretch across the canvas while sun-bleached bones evoke the region’s dry desert climate.

Like many of O'Keeffe's landscapes, this work represents a location near her house, Ghost Ranch, distilled to poetic, abstracted shapes that reflect the monumentality she finds in even the simplest natural forms.

See this masterpiece in "A Nation of Artists."

We join the art world in mourning the loss of David Hockney.

One of the most influential artists of our time, Hockney spent a lifetime encouraging us to see the world differently through his vibrant use of color, inventive perspectives, and enduring curiosity.

We are grateful to have his work represented in our collection.

Our thoughts are with his loved ones and the many people around the world who found joy in his work.
