The logcabin, along with coonskincap andKentucky
rifle, conjures
up
images
ofrugged pioneer days. Simple one-room dwellings
oflogs,
notched together
at
the corners, were introduced to America around 1638 bySwedishsettlers in
Line
Delaware. Subsequently, Germn and Scotch
Irish
immigrants, as
well
as
(5)
Russian explorers along the western coast and in Alaska, introduced their own
formsof log
construction. During
the
great
westward expansin that beganin
the late 1700s, the log cabin was practically ubiquitous in timber-rich frontier
reas; it could be built with only the aid of an axe, and required no costly nails.
Intended to serve merely as way stations in the wilderness, cabins rarely became
1 0 permanenthomes.Whenfamiliesdesired better housing with more amenities,
they either abandoned their cabins (oftento beoccupiedby newtransients),
incorporated them into larger dwellings, converted
them
into storage facilities,
or
in theSouth,
used
them asslave
quarters.
The
myth
of the log
cabin
as the
sacrosanct birthplace
of
leaders, renowned

Duringthe earlytwentieth century, therewas acoreofradical American
artistswhodevoted themselvestoexploringthepotentialsofmodernism. Chief
amongthem
wasGeorgia
O'Keeffe,
themost
famous
woman artistof ourtime,
Line
who is
best known
for her
dramatic paintings
of
giganticflowers
and
sun-
(5)
bleached desert bones.
AnativeofWisconsin,
O'Keeffe
studied there,inVirginia,at the ArtInstitute
ofChicago,
and NewYork'sArt
Students'League,
and
then earned
her
living
as
apublic-schoolartteacherinVirginiaandTexas.In1915,at the age of twenty-
eight,
O'Keeffearranged around
her
room
all the art
that
she had
produced
so
(10) far,toevalateit.Condemningeach workasderivative,shedestroyed them all,
embarking
on an
entirely
new
series that
she
hoped
would
reflect
onlyherself.
Thenext year
O'Keeffe
sent someof her new
workremarkably
spare, totally
abstractcharcoaldrawingstoAnita Pollitzer,
a
friendlivingin NewYork.
Pollitzer, impressed with the work, took the drawings to
Alfred
Stieglitz,
the
1 5 noted photographer, editor, dealer,and one ofAmerica'sforemost
promoters
of
modernist
art. Stieglitzwasalsoimpressed;hebecame
O'Keeffe's
dealer,and
later herhusband. WithStieglitz'ssupportand thehelpofpositive reviewsand
significantsales,O'Keeffe
was
able
to
devote herself
to
painting:
New
YorkCity
scenes atnight,at a time when the skyscrapers were brand-new; rural
2 0
landscapes seen during summersat
Lake
George inupstateNew
York;
and,
finally,theblossomsandbonesforwhichshebecame famous.
By1916O'Keeffewasproducing totally abstract drawingsandwater colors,
many
based
on a series of simplelinesand curved shapes. But she is known to
farmore viewersfor her
close-ups
of flowers: redpoppies, blackirises,green
2 5 orchids, pink-spotted
lilies.
Many theories have been advanced aboutthe
underlying
meanings
of
these pictures. Much
has
been made
of the "female
qualities"of herblossoms;
O 'Keeffe,
however, always denied that therewas any
symbolism, sexual
or
otherwise,
in her
flowerpaintings.
She
claimed that their
size wasinspiredby the skyscrapers beingbuiltall over NewYorkand that
(30) what really
interestedher in a
subject
was not the flower, or the
skulls,
or the
mountain, but the colors and shapes she saw as she looked at them.
