“Pelvis With Moon,” an artwork by Georgia O’Keeffe, is a notable piece within the Precisionism art movement and belongs to the “Pelvis” series of figurative artworks.
The artwork depicts a close-up view of a pelvis bone, rendered with precise and smooth lines that create a clarity and sharpness characteristic of Precisionism. The pelvis is positioned against a serene blue sky, with a prominent moon visible through one of the bone’s openings. The composition is both simple and powerful, emphasizing the organic, flowing shapes of the bone, juxtaposed with the clear, celestial sphere of the moon. The smooth gradation of colors and the interplay of light and shadow add depth and a sense of three-dimensionality to the piece. This juxtaposition of natural forms and celestial elements evokes a sense of timelessness and connection between the earth and the cosmos.
