Aftereffect: Georgia O鈥橩eeffe and Contemporary Painting brings together a select group of artists whose work resonates with that of Georgia O'Keeffe. From her formal innovations, to her ambition to transcribe her ideas and emotions, to her distinctive approach to abstraction and the landscape of New Mexico, O'Keeffe's legacy is identifiable in the work of several generations of painters. These artists share her interest in capturing what Jerry Saltz refers to as the "objective and subjective all at once." That is, in their art, the physical world is neither subjected to, nor victorious over the imagination of the artist, but rather, the two are continuously at play.

The painters gathered here explore a set of formal qualities pioneered by O鈥橩eeffe and modernists of her circle. This is not an exhibition that pays homage to O鈥橩eeffe鈥檚 鈥淪anta Fe style鈥� or brings together her paintings with those of other artists based on mere iconographic affinities. Rather, it investigates the ways O鈥橩eeffe鈥檚 distinctive formal innovations of scale, space, use of color, and framing, among other compositional devices, remain relevant to painters working today. This exhibition is designed to be an artist-driven experience for visitors that seriously assesses鈥攆rom a very unique angle鈥攃ontemporary painting and delivers a fresh view of O鈥橩eeffe鈥檚 contribution to the history of landscape painting and abstraction.
