UPON SECOND THOUGHT
Recalling a charcoal she made in 1916, Georgia O'Keeffe later wrote, “I have made this drawing several times—never remembering that I had made it before—and not knowing where the idea came from.” These drawings, and most of O’Keeffe’s works in charcoal, watercolor, pastel, and graphite, belong to a series of the American modernist's lesser-known works on paper. Released in conjunction with an exhibition at MoMA, Georgia O'Keeffe: To See Takes Time highlights the drawings of an artist better known as a painter and reunites many serials for the first time, including charcoal flowers of the 1930s, portraits of the 1940s, and aerial views of the 1950s. moma.org
