Which New Mexico landscape landmark did Georgia O'Keeffe repeatedly paint as a subject?

Georgia O'Keeffe repeatedly painted the New Mexico landscape landmark known as The Black Place.

The Black Place was a dark, dramatic area of cliffs and badlands near Abiquiu, New Mexico. O'Keeffe found its forms visually compelling and returned to the subject in multiple paintings, translating the eroded terrain into stark, simplified compositions.

She also painted The White Place, a different landscape of pale cliffs near her New Mexico homes. The two names are easy to mix up because both became recurring subjects and both refer to geological formations rather than conventional towns or buildings.

O'Keeffe's New Mexico work extended beyond scenery. She painted bones, crosses, adobe architecture, flowers, and other objects from the region. Her landscapes helped make the state's distinctive light, geology, and vast spaces central to her mature artistic identity.
