The artwork titled “A Black Bird With Snow Covered Red Hills” was created by the artist Georgia O’Keeffe in 1946. It belongs to the Precisionism art movement and falls under the genre of animal painting.
The artwork showcases a solitary black bird gliding gracefully against a serene, almost ethereal sky gradient that transitions from a vibrant blue at the top to a softer, lighter hue toward the horizon. Below, smooth, snow-covered hills form a gentle landscape, with faint outlines suggesting the undulating terrain. The red hue of the hills beneath the snow is only subtly suggested, allowing the bird’s stark silhouette to capture immediate attention. The simplicity and elegance of the composition embody the core principles of the Precisionism movement, emphasizing clean lines and a refined depiction of the subject.
