« The recovery of blue after a downpour…
The sky regains its colour. The trees drip and the pavement drinks. The city, too, tries out sentences. Damp laughter and showers of footsteps. It seems the landscape is all sprinkled with belief.
You would like to garden this blue, then pluck it and carefully place it into a linen apron or a wicker basket. Arrange the sky in bouquets, reap its fragrance, hold beauty close to your chest for a few hours and be reconciled. »
—Jean-Michel Maulpoix, A Matter of Blue: Poems

Happy Women’s History Month! We’ll be celebrating all month long by sharing some of the amazing work in our collection and on view by women artists.
First up is American Modernist Georgia O’Keeffe. After moving to New York City in 1918, O’Keeffe began spending summers at Alfred Stieglitz’s family home on Lake George in upstate New York. “From the Lake No. 3” is one of her most abstract paintings inspired by those surroundings. She embraced the colors of the region, evoking a sense of the place without depicting its literal qualities. See this painting on view in our American galleries.
“From the Lake No. 3,” 1924, by Georgia O’Keeffe

AFTERNOONS AND EARLY EVENINGS
The beautiful golden days when you were soon to be dying
but could still enter into random conversations with strangers,
random but also deliberate, so impressions of the world
were still forming and changing you,
and the city was at its most radiant, uncrowded in summer
though by then everything was happening more slowly—
boutiques, restaurants, a little wine shop with a striped awning,
once a cat was sleeping in the doorway;
it was cool there, in the shadows, and I thought
I would like to sleep like that again, to have in my mind
not one thought. And later we would eat polpo and saganaki,
the waiter cutting leaves of oregano into a saucer of oil—
What was it, six o’clock? So when we left it was still light
and everything could be seen for what it was,
and then you got in the car—
Where did you go next, after those days,
where although you could not speak you were not lost?

here’s a thought to try on for size:
it is actually fine for someone’s activism to focus primarily, if not exclusively, on one area, one demographic, or one problem. in fact, that is how most actual progress gets made: by people dedicating years of their lives to making changes in one specific area at a time. “why are you focusing on saving the whales and not the rainforest” is a derailment that leaves activists burned out and ineffective. 
your politics should be intersectional, yes! you should listen to the concerns of all affected groups when deciding which policy to push forward, yes! but you cannot tackle every injustice and institution on earth, with equal passion, simultaneously. that’s too many battles. put some back.
“you can care about more than one thing at a time” very true, but also consider: you can care about many things and still choose to make one area of action your primary focus. most successful activists do. it doesn’t make the person fighting against amazon deforestation a hypocrite or a failure or a bad person that they are not, simultaneously, devoting all their time and energy to whale repopulation efforts
