Featuring more than 150 works, “Georgia O’Keeffe and Henry Moore” includes paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, as well as faithful recreations of each artist’s studio containing their tools and found objects. The studio installations illuminate the heart of their artistic practice—something rarely made visible in museum spaces—and create richer portraits of O’Keeffe and Moore by encouraging visitors to imagine how they worked and lived. In addition to about 90 works by Moore and 60 by O’Keeffe, the MFA’s presentation draws on the Museum’s modernist collection to put O’Keeffe and Moore in dialogue with other mid-20th-century artists active in the United States and in Europe—among them Edward Weston, Barbara Hepworth, Arthur Dove, and Jean Arp—all of whom engaged with creating abstraction from nature.
