1932, Georgia O'Keeffe, Untitled (New York) [charcoal] -- Museum of Modern Art (New York)
From the museum label: Between 1925 and 1936, O'Keeffe lived at New York's Shelton Hotel - just a few blocks from MoMA, on Lexington Avenue and Forty-Ninth Street - first in an apartment on the twenty-eighth floor, then on the thirtieth. Her towering view of a rapidly growing metropolis inspired a series of works that includes these two charcoals, which organize urban architecture into flattened geometries. In one she describes distinct buildings through varying values, while in the other she depicts a thick haze that envelops the city in an overall field of midtone gray.
