1940, Georgia O'Keeffe, From the White Place -- Phillips Collection (Washington)

From the museum label:

 

"It is only by selection, elimination, and emphasis that we get at the real meaning of things." — Georgia O'Keeffe, 1923

 

A May 1, 1941, telegram indicates Phillips purchased this painting for $3,800. Painted from nature, it shows a sixty-million-year-old cliff formation, a dramatic landscape near O'Keeffe's home in Abiquiu, New Mexico.
