Which 1919 Georgia O’Keeffe painting is composed of blue and green abstract forms?

Georgia O’Keeffe’s 1919 painting composed of blue and green abstract forms is Blue and Green Music.

The work uses sweeping, curving shapes and intense color rather than depicting a recognizable object. O’Keeffe often discussed the relationship between visual art and music, especially the possibility that color and form could communicate emotion without representing a literal scene.

Blue and Green Music belongs to the abstract phase of her early career. During the 1910s and early 1920s, she made drawings and paintings that reduced natural impressions to lines, shapes, and color fields. These works helped establish her reputation before her enlarged flowers and Southwestern subjects became widely known.

The title is important because O’Keeffe created several works with music-related names. The 1919 painting should not be confused with Music, Pink and Blue No. 2, another abstract work from her career.
