Description
A bronze statue of Georgia O’Keeffe, a painter, who is known as “the mother of American modernism.”
The semi-realistic, semi-abstract statue that was created and dedicated in 1982 depicts O’Keeffe as an older woman, sitting on a tree stump and holding a cane, with her two dogs, Bo and Chia, by her sides. All are facing west, towards the setting sun.
The sculptress, Marisol Escobar, based the portrait on a photograph she took while visiting O’Keeffe in New Mexico.
