What was the name of Georgia O'Keeffe's 1931 painting featuring a cow skull and a U.S. flag motif?

Georgia O'Keeffe’s 1931 painting featuring a cow skull and a U.S. flag motif is Cow's Skull: Red, White, and Blue.

The painting places a bleached cow skull against a red, white, and blue background. O'Keeffe found animal bones in the New Mexico landscape and repeatedly used them as subjects, treating their contours as powerful abstract forms rather than merely as symbols of death.

The patriotic colors give this work a particularly American visual identity. The skull’s frontal arrangement and the broad bands of color create a stark, carefully balanced composition. It belongs to the group of works that connected O'Keeffe’s New Mexico observations with modernist simplification.

This title is distinct from Cow's Skull with Calico Roses, another O'Keeffe painting involving a skull. The wording Red, White, and Blue identifies the 1931 composition with the flag-like color scheme.
