A friend sent me the link to another vintage photo that merges two of my favorite subjects, motorcycles and art.

The photo is of Georgia O’Keeffe entitled, “Women who rode away” taken near Abiquiu Ghost Ranch. The famous photo was snappedt by Maria Chabot in 1944. The painter and driver of the motorcycle, Maurice Grosser, visited his friend O’Keeffe’s ranch in 1944 paving an opportunity for Maria Chabot to photograph O’Keeffe and Grosser riding on his 1938 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead.

In all the photographs I have seen of O’Keeffe, I don’t believe I have ever seen one where she looks more mischievous or content.
