“Sky above Clouds III,” created in 1963 by Georgia O’Keeffe, belongs to the Precisionism art movement and is a notable work within the cloudscape genre. This piece is part of O’Keeffe’s “Sky Above Clouds” series and reflects her unique approach to capturing natural phenomena with precise, geometric forms.
The artwork presents an expansive view of a sky filled with white, stylized cloud formations stretching towards the horizon. The clouds are depicted with an almost mathematical regularity, set against a gradient backdrop that transitions from a soft, pinkish hue at the horizon to a deeper, more saturated blue as it moves upwards. The overall effect is one of serene simplicity, yet with a meticulous attention to form and structure that is characteristic of the Precisionism movement. The repetitive cloud patterns and the harmonious color palette evoke a sense of calm and infinite space, embodying O’Keeffe’s distinctive vision of the sky above.
