The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, NY will extend the hours of the exhibition Modern Nature: Georgia O’Keeffe and Lake George from 10AM to 6PM on Saturday, September 14 and Sunday, September 15 – the show’s final days. The exhibition, which was organized in association with Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, NM, explores the artist’s paintings of Lake George. O’Keeffe would spend months at her husband Alfred Stieglitz’s family estate slightly north of Lake George village between 1918 and the mid-1930s. Her paintings from this time period, which feature wooded, bucolic settings, differ greatly from her well-known renderings of the sparse New Mexican landscape.

Modern Nature presents 58 paintings from public and private collections and includes botanical compositions of flowers and vegetables as well as still lifes. The exhibition also includes paintings of weathered barns and other structures as well as panoramic landscapes of the lake.

Modern Nature will travel to the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum (October 4, 2013 – January 6, 2014) and then to San Francisco’s de Young Museum (February 8, 2014 – May 11, 2014) following its time at the Hyde Collection.
