1. Introduction, Setting the Tone: Concept of Art & Design

Art & Design 2day offers a unique dialogue between timeless artworks and contemporary design. Each issue showcases an exceptional piece of art alongside meticulously curated design products derived from it. Today, we explore Georgia O'Keeffe’s "Lake George Reflection" (ca. 1921-1922), an iconic masterpiece of modern American art. This meditative depiction of nature’s stillness inspires bespoke creations that embody its tranquil elegance and profound connection to the natural world.

2. Artwork Focus, A Deep Dive: Technical Notice About the Artwork

Georgia O'Keeffe (1887–1986, USA) redefined modern art with her striking interpretations of natural forms and landscapes. "Lake George Reflection", painted in oil on canvas, captures a serene moment of mirrored water and vibrant hues. This masterpiece is a testament to O'Keeffe’s masterful use of color, simplicity, and abstraction to evoke deep emotional resonance. Often inspired by her stays in Lake George, New York, O'Keeffe’s work reflects her enduring fascination with nature's beauty and her ability to translate it into profound visual poetry.

Georgia O'Keeffe's "Lake George" refers to the Lake George located in upstate New York. It was a place of great personal and artistic significance to her. O'Keeffe spent considerable time at Lake George during the summers in the 1910s and 1920s, as it was the home of her husband Alfred Stieglitz’s family estate. The serene landscapes and natural beauty of the area inspired many of her works, including "Lake George Reflection", where she captured the tranquil interplay of water, sky, and light in her distinctive style.

This artwork was sold at Christie’s on the 19/05/2016 for USD 12,933,000.
