O’Keeffe executed more than 200 paintings, sketches, and pastels while in residence in Lake George – making the years she lived there some of the most prolific of her career. During those years, she received her first critical success, emerging as one of the era’s most celebrated professional artists.

On loan from The Phillips Collection, Pattern of Leaves celebrates Georgia O’Keeffe’s long and intimate association with Lake George and the Adirondacks. The painting is on view in Hoopes Gallery.

Pattern of Leaves hangs alongside a 1936 photograph by Steiglitz of the farm’s housekeeper, Margaret Prosser, and another by Todd Webb of O’Keeffe herself during her 1961 visit to Glen Canyon on the Colorado River; both photographs are from The Hyde’s Collection. Nearby hangs a watercolor of Lake George by a friend and frequent visitor to the lake, John Marin (1870-1953).

Robert Blackburn (1920-2003) was a key artist in the development of printmaking in the twentieth century. His innovative, masterful expertise with the medium helped define the overall aesthetic of the American “graphics boom.” This new exhibition examines Blackburn’s life and work, and includes prints by artists with whom he collaborated.

With its two recent acquisitions from the 2021 Artists of the Mohawk Hudson Region exhibition, The Hyde Collection has added two regional artists to its roster of renowned artists: Victoria van der Laan, and Scott Brodie. The current exhibition hangs their work in dialogue with works from the permanent collection and explores how each artist simultaneously pushes the boundaries of their genres (respectively textile art and still life painting), while working within an established tradition.
