Georgia Totto O'Keeffe's [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=blue+wave+maine,blue,wave,maine&']Blue Wave Maine[/A], painted in 1926, is a masterpiece that embodies the essence of her artistic ideology. This oil on canvas painting measures 51 x 69 cm and is a testament to O'Keeffe's unique style, which blends organic forms with vibrant colors. [H2]The Artistic Ideology Behind Blue Wave Maine[/H2] Excerpts from essays written for O'Keeffe's 1927 exhibition, featuring [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=blue+wave+maine,blue,wave,maine&']Blue Wave Maine[/A], reveal the extent to which her ideology permeated her work. Oscar Bluemner wrote lyrically of O'Keeffe: 'All nature seen as organic living flesh – form transposed into line and color – surface throbbing with pulse – line quivering with intense inner life – color rigorously restricted with corresponding significance.' Charles Demuth similarly extolled, 'Colour as colour, not as volume, or light, - only as colour.... In her canvases each colour almost regains the fun it must have felt within itself, on forming the first rain-bow.' [H2]Context and Inspiration[/H2] By the end of summer 1926, O'Keeffe traveled to Maine to escape the distractions and resentments associated with Stieglitz's summer home. Although Stieglitz followed, imploring her to return, she stayed at her ocean-side retreat for a month before capitulating to the demands of life. The ocean at York Beach was a world away from the stressful life at Lake George as well as her hectic one in New York. [H2]Painting Description[/H2] The painting features a large blue wave with white foam on top, appearing to crash onto the shore. The sky in the background is a mix of pink and blue hues, creating an overall sense of tranquility as the waves gently roll into the shore. The wave itself has a distinct shape, with a noticeable crest that is breaking over the shore. The white foam adds to the dynamic nature of the scene and creates a sense of movement in the image. [H2]Relevance and Significance[/H2] [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=blue+wave+maine,blue,wave,maine&']Blue Wave Maine[/A] is part of O'Keeffe's tumultuous love affair with life, as described by Colin W. Sargent in [A href='https://www.portlandmonthly.com/portmag/georgia-okeeffe-maine-artist/']Portland Monthly[/A]. The painting reflects her breakthrough experience at York Beach, where she began to paint sea shells and their curves and involutions. [H2]Conclusion[/H2] Georgia Totto O'Keeffe's [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=blue+wave+maine,blue,wave,maine&']Blue Wave Maine[/A] is a captivating piece that showcases her unique artistic style and ideology. The painting's tranquil yet dynamic nature makes it a standout in her collection.
