The artwork titled “Autumn Trees – Chestnut Tree” was created by Georgia O’Keeffe in 1924 and is associated with the Precisionism art movement. The genre of the artwork is landscape.
In this artwork, the central focus is a chestnut tree depicted during the autumn season. The tree’s trunk is prominent in the foreground, dominating the composition with its bold, dark hues, which contrast sharply against the softer backdrop. The leaves are mostly absent, revealing the intricate network of branches that reach into the sky, which is painted with muted, pastel colors transitioning from warm to cool tones. The background features gentle, rolling hills rendered in subdued blues and pinks, enhancing the serene and contemplative mood of the scene. The overall effect is a carefully balanced composition, characteristic of Precisionism, emphasizing clear lines and simplified forms to convey the strength and beauty of the natural landscape.
