Georgia O'Keeffe on New Mexico

crosses are magical

these paintings are my favorite representation of the magical 

shape of crosses

For O’Keeffe "painting the crosses was a way of painting the country"

"There's an awful lot of pressure around the idea of a woman growing older and therefore losing that potential of being desirable, and that puts women into a situation where they feel almost embarrassed about the fact they don't have the kind of bodies that young women have, or they don't have the kind of sexual attraction that seems to go with a younger stage of their life. What does that mean, the fact that you're older? It means that you're not going to have the same kind of relationships you had when you were younger. I think we have to reinvent from a woman's point of view another way of being."
