The painting is part of a collection of work depicting sea- and landscapes of Maine or Lake George, and were created by O'Keeffe between 1921 and 1922. The technique and style of A Storm reflects O'Keeffe's earlier preference for charcoal as a medium.[3] It was donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art by a private collector in 1981.[1]
Notes
- Presumably Lake George, where O'Keeffe had a studio on Alfred Stieglitz' estate.[1]
