AFA 18th Anniversary

18th Anniversary 130 www.afamag.com | w ww.incollect.com Detail, blouse, attributed to Georgia O’Keeffe, circa early to mid-1930s. White linen. Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, Santa Fe, N.Mex.; Gift of Juan and Anna Marie Hamilton (2000.03.0248). Photo © Gavin Ashworth. The decoration at the center of this handmade blouse offers a lovely companion to O’Keeffe’s paintings of crinkly-edged autumn leaves and corrugated seashells. The blouse and its ornament are shaped by tiny pintucks that look like the veins of a leaf. A conscientious mender of clothes she liked to wear, O’Keeffe meticulously patched the back of this blouse.
