Shell No 2 by Georgia OKeeffe — Fine Art

Shell No 2 by Georgia OKeeffe shows a smooth shell shape set against a soft painted field. The form sits near the centre with room around it. The surface holds quiet tones that stay close together. The work belongs to a period of american modernism where natural objects become simple studies.

The frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black and gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. The white frame keeps the pale shell tones open. The dark wood frame sets a firm line against the soft field.

In a narrow hallway near the front door you notice the shell shape first. From the stairwell you see the plain field and the frame edge. The print rests on a matte fine art paper surface.
