About

The painting uses colors that are both subtle and bold in order to capture the variance of tones that one would find in music. O'Keeffe described music as being able to be "translated into something for the eye." The painting is part of the Alfred Stieglitz collection, a gift by the artist to the museum in memory of her husband.
