From petunias and rare black irises to bleached animal bones, seashells, and sun-baked adobe churches, Georgia\u2019s vision captured the essence of things. She rarely painted people or animals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Rumor has it she could smell the animal bones she stumbled upon in the sand as she hiked through the New Mexico desert with palette and paintbrush in hand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cI simply paint what I see,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Her eye caught nuances. Vibrant, clear color and natural forms spoke to her. She paid special attention to her painting materials and bought the best brushes and paint.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cThis woman who\u2026because she dares to paint as she feels, has become not only one of the most magical artists of our time but one of the most stimulatingly powerful,\u201d said author Elizabeth Montgomery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Georgia especially loved the New Mexico mountains and spent years painting there. She first visited New Mexico in 1917 drawn by the stark beauty, architecture and landscape. By 1929 she was in New Mexico part of almost every year, mostly around Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cWhen I got to New Mexico that was mine. As soon as I saw it that was my country. I&#8217;d never seen anything like it before, but it fitted to me exactly. It&#8217;s something that&#8217;s in the air, it&#8217;s different,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Georgia had been famous for years but celebrity and fame meant little to her. While traveling in France she was asked if she wanted to meet Picasso.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cI don\u2019t speak French and he doesn\u2019t speak English. What would be the sense of meeting him if<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">we couldn\u2019t speak?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Georgia was one of the most important artists of the 20th century and a major leader in American Modernism.
