Wassily Kandinsky, the father of abstract art, was also a skilled musician who saw color when he listened to music, and believed color could visually express music’s timber, pitch and volume. Trained in the legal profession, Kandinsky began his art studies at age 30 after seeing Monet’s “Haystacks”.

Poster Text: About the Artist
Georgia O'Keeffe is considered to be one of the greatest American artists of the century. And she may be the most well-known woman painter in history. During her long career, she worked in many differnt styles. But she is especially best remembered for the beautiful and haunting landscapes she painted of the desert in New Mexico. Georgia O'Keeffe was born a long way from the desert in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. She decided very early in her life that she wanted to be an artist, and she studied art in Chicago and New York. While she was teaching art in Texas, a friend showed some of her drawings to the photographer Alfred Stieglitz. Stiegletz displayed the works in his New York gallery, and in 1924 he and Georgia O'Keeffe wer married. In 1946 O'Keeffe moved to New Mexico where she painted some of her most memorable works – landscapes featuring animal bones, dry mountains, and delicate flowers. Often she painted extreme close up views of thes objects turning them into lovely abstractiosnl Georgia O'Keeffe was fiercely independent and she lived alone in the desert until her death at the age of 98.
About the Painting
“Cow's Skull with Calico Roses” was painted in 1931, when Georgia O'Keeffe was at the peak of her creative powers. O'Keefe had spent the summer of 1929 at a small ranch house in the desert near Taos. New Mexico. At the end of the summer, she shipped a barrel of old animal bones back to her studio in New York. With the scenery of the desert still fresh in her mind, she set to work on a series of paintings featuring bones, sky, and barren ground. Among these was the lonely painting “Cow's Skull with Calico Roses”. For Georgia O'Keeffe, bones were an symbol of the desert. And the calico roses, which people of the Southwest used to decorate graves, were a symbol of death. The whole mood of the painting, with its pale colors broken only by a black gash down the center, suggest sadness or grief. But the painting also shows the two “sides” of the desert O'Keeffe loved so deeply – harshness, represented by the sun-bleached skull, and fragile beauty, ... by the delicate white roses.
