“Stump in Red Hills” is a landscape artwork by Georgia O’Keeffe, associated with the Precisionism art movement. The artwork showcases a striking representation of a tree stump set against the vivid hues of red hills.
The composition exudes a harmonious blend of natural elements, depicted in stylized, precise forms. The central feature of the artwork is a twisted tree stump rendered in various shades of brown, with intricate detailing of its texture and form. Surrounding the stump, the landscape unfolds in a series of rolling hills, painted in warm, reddish tones that evoke a sense of depth and movement. The overall effect is a vibrant juxtaposition of organic forms against the geometric simplicity of the background, capturing the essence of O’Keeffe’s unique interpretation of the natural world. The use of color, form, and composition creates a visually compelling piece that reflects the Precisionist movement’s emphasis on clear, outlined shapes and clean, spare surfaces.
