From The White Canadian Barn Series by Georgia Totto O'Keeffe (1887-1986) Unsigned, Oil On Canvasboard l13 1/2" x 31 1/2" Some Minor Damage
Seeking To Escape The Pressures Of Her Life With Alfred Stieglitz, O'Keeffe Drove To The Gaspé Peninsula In Quebec, Canada In The Summer Of 1932 For A Few Weeks Respite. There She Painted A Series Of Seven Barns Whose Austere Design And Blackened Doors And Windows Prefigure Her Later Series Of New Mexico Patio Doors. The Provenance on the painting goes as follows... It was purchased in the 1960"s and was in the families summer home in Lake Champagne, New York, the heirs didn't even know it was an O'Keefe. From my research this painting very well could be from her Canadian Barn series. She very rarely signed her work.
