“Drawing XII” by Georgia O’Keeffe, created between 1915 and 1916, is an abstract artwork rendered in charcoal on paper, measuring 61 by 48.3 centimeters. This piece, associated with the Precisionism art movement, is housed in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork presents an enigmatic composition characterized by smooth, flowing lines and forms that elegantly converge and diverge, evoking a sense of graceful movement and organic growth. The charcoal medium contributes to a range of delicate shades and deep contrasts, enhancing the visual depth and texture of the piece. As an abstract work, it invites viewers to engage in personal interpretation, exploring the interplay of line, form, and space that is emblematic of O’Keeffe’s innovative artistic vision during the early 20th century.
