The artwork titled “Church Steeple” was created by Georgia O’Keeffe in 1950. This piece is associated with the Precisionism movement and falls under the genre of cityscape.
The artwork features a distinctly architectural subject, a church steeple, presented with precise and clear lines characteristic of the Precisionism art movement. Dominated by bold and solid colors, the composition highlights a white church steeple with a prominent black cross set against a vivid blue sky. The bell within the steeple is clearly visible, adding a focal element to the sparse yet striking structure. The simplicity and clarity of the forms reflect the artist’s meticulous attention to detail and compositional balance, emblematic of O’Keeffe’s broader pursuit of the essence of her subjects through abstraction and precision.
