Georgia O’Keeffe & Henry Moore, Together at Last

Two of the most recognized artists in Modern Art are examined together for the first time in an exhibition of over 120 works that underscores their similarities. Georgia O’Keeffe and Henry Moore both had a powerful relationship with the natural world, evident in most of their works.

Both O’Keeffe and Moore were pioneers in their approaches to Modernism. Focusing on natural forms, they collected various objects such as animal skulls, bones, tree roots, and seashells, which served as inspiration for their art. Bones were an essential part of Moore’s approach to sculpture.

The exhibition also offers their re-created studios, complete with original contents of found objects, tools, and furnishings, providing a glimpse into the creative processes of both artists.

The exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is a travelling collaboration organized by the San Diego Museum of Art with the Henry Moore Foundation, Much Hadham, England, and the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, Santa Fe, New Mexico. The San Diego Museum’s synopsis from the inaugural exhibition is worth a read, below.
