travel: Perspective on O'Keeffe

It's common to see paintings and photographs at Buffalo's internationally renowned Albright-Knox Art Gallery.

What's not so common is to see those mediums paired.

Until now.
The Cliff Chimneys (1938), an oil-on-canvas work inspired by the scene above (photographed by Herb Lotz), is a good example of work from Georgia O'Keeffe's Southwestern period, states www.jsonline.com.
Part of a private collection, Hill, New Mexico (1935), inspired by the scene above (shot by Malcolm Varon), rarely has been seen by the public.
