“Maybe it seems crazy ... that I go out like this and live under the stars and sky for several days - but I am like that,” Georgia O'Keeffe to Alfred Stieglitz, 1940

The beauty and elegance of Georgia O'Keeffe paintings in New Mexico was caused by her proximity to the natural forms of the Southwest, especially in connection with her pictures of the landscape surrounding her house on the Ghost Ranch. Away from home, she repeatedly hiked to paint in three unusual places in the southwest: in Glen Canyon, Utah, and in places in New Mexico, which she called "White Place" and "Black Place".

In the period from 1936 to 1949, the artist repeatedly returned to these places to create more than a dozen major works inspired by an amazing landscape isolated from the road and civilization.
