Which New Mexico landscape landmark did Georgia O'Keeffe paint in works such as Black Place?

Georgia O'Keeffe painted The Black Place, a dark landscape formation in New Mexico, in works such as Black Place.

The Black Place is a remote area north of Abiquiu, New Mexico, characterized by dark hills and eroded formations. O'Keeffe visited and painted the location repeatedly, finding its stark shapes and tonal contrasts especially compelling.

Her New Mexico paintings often focus on compressed views of cliffs, roads, bones, churches, and mountains. The Black Place differs from the more brightly colored and vertically dramatic landscapes associated with Ghost Ranch, although both locations were important to her work.

The name is also sometimes confused with a painting title. O'Keeffe created multiple works related to the site, and catalogues may identify them with variations such as Black Place, The Black Place, or numbered versions. The landmark itself is the Black Place.
