Artwork Title: Georgia O’Keeffe at the Entrance of Her Abiquiu Home

Georgia O’Keeffe at the Entrance of Her Abiquiu Home, 1967

Cecil Beaton

Cecil Beaton was the first fashion photographer for whom O’Keeffe dressed in trousers. He came to photograph her for Vogue magazine, and she changed clothes two or three times for his camera. The outfit in this image includes black pants, a white blouse, and a wide-sleeved coat in wool boucle (fabric woven in loops). The striking image of her in the entryway of her Abiquiu house ran as a full-page reproduction for a March 1, 1967 article in Vogue, in which art critic E. C. Goossen argued, among other things, the older artist’s relevance to younger New York painters: “O’Keeffe’s painting is crucial to any competent understanding of the origins of recent styles.” (https://designlifenetwork.com/georgia-okeeffe-living-modern-virtual-tour/)
