The artwork titled “Cliffs Beyond Abiquiu, Dry Waterfall,” was created by Georgia O’Keeffe in 1943. This piece is part of the Precisionism movement and falls under the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a stark, monumental landscape of cliffs with a dry waterfall, showcasing O’Keeffe’s characteristic clarity and precision in rendering natural forms. The cliffs are composed of soft hues of beige, pink, and ochre, intricately capturing the texture and majesty of the rocky formations. Sparse vegetation dots the scene, adding contrast and depth to the composition. The attention to detail and the play of light and shadow emphasize the rugged beauty and serene isolation of the landscape, embodying the tranquil essence of the natural world.
