It’s still not too late to check out the “still” life.

“Georgia O’Keeffe and the Southwestern Still Life” remains at the Indianapolis Museum of Art through Feb. 15.

Back in the early 20th century, it was not so easy to travel the country. Folks really had to have a reason to visit. O’Keeffe, and artists like her, helped attract audiences to visit the one-of-a-kind Southwest.

Her still-life paintings — including a heavy emphasis on New Mexico — aided in documenting the importance of a grand place during a grand time. The exhibition captures what the artists who lived there saw. More than 50 works, representing stills (or representations) of an object or groups of objects are on display.

This is the perfect exhibit for wintertime. Walking through the displays, which also features works by Marsden Hartley, Raymond Jonson and Victor Higgins, lightens the mood. A bright yellow cactus flower, pink poinsettia and more make visitors forget about winter weather.

The exhibit’s organizing curator is American Art scholar Charles C. Eldredge, former director of the Smithsonian American Art Museum and currently Hall Distinguished Professor of American Art at the University of Kansas.
