Did You Know?

Under optimal environmental conditions, cottonwood trees can live up to 400 years.

Description

Cottonwood trees that spread throughout the New Mexico landscape provided subjects for several of Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings, including this example. Although no longer living, the majestic cottonwood seen here is framed against a distant double-peaked land mass in near symmetry. Upon her death at age 98, the artist bequeathed this painting—along with four others—to the Cleveland Museum of Art, an early supporter of her work.
Oil painting with smooth, defined strokes depicting a tree at the center, swathes of grey fluff coating its branches. Behind it a peach-colored hill with a yellow peak is speckled with greenery and framed against a clear blue sky.
