About Blue-04

“Blue-04,” crafted by Georgia O’Keeffe in 1916, is an abstract watercolor painting on paper, measuring 40.5 by 27.8 centimeters. This work is a part of the “Blue” series and is associated with the Abstract Art movement. It currently resides in the Brooklyn Museum, located in New York City, NY, USA.

The artwork features an arrangement of deep blue hues on a pale background, evocative of both simplicity and depth. Dominated by a pair of overlapping, crescent-like forms near the top, the composition suggests a sense of fluidity and motion, as the watercolors appear to seep and blend into the paper. Below these forms, three horizontal strokes of varying thicknesses add a grounded element to the composition. The two main blue shapes create a focal point that draws the viewer’s eye, while the linear strokes below provide a balancing contrast. The abstract nature of the artwork invites various interpretations, reflective of O’Keeffe’s nuanced exploration of color and form.
