GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Completed soon after Ida O'Keeffe arrived in San Antonio to teach, this work retains the subdued palette used in her Missouri landscapes. In addition, both paintings convey a mood of wonderment and wistfulness. Her sue of the frame to extend the composition achieves a witty visual conceit. Stars cut from tin metal alternate with self-sticking foil stars, creating a play of tone (warm versus cool) that imports a sense of depth and rhythm to the horizontal constellation.
