Comparison Of Green Mountains Canada And Georgia O Keeffe

In 1932 Georgia O’Keeffe frequently visited the Gaspé peninsula, and was often accompanied by Georgia Engelhard, an artist mentored by O’Keeffe. O’Keeffe found Canada to be a “very good country for painting – quite as good as New Mexico”. The land was similar to that of her childhood in Wisconsin, the lushness of the landscape provided contrast to the barren landscapes of New Mexico. Green Mountains, Canada is similar to O’Keeffe’s western landscapes, both of which are painted in her abstracted style, but provide a different color palate that favors greens and blues over reds
