THE GROWING WEST.
W.-Lo, the Poor Model.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

TAOS, n M-This little town, erst-
while an outpost Of the frontier. in
habited largely by Indians and Next
is fast becoming a center of American
art. An ever-growing colony of paint
ers. many of them Of the first rank, has
established itself in Taos; a new and
native school Of painting bids fair to
spring up in consequence. The work
being done here Is Of real significance.
1t is well known to artists all over
the world: 1t is being exhibited from
Los Angeles to New York, and the pub
inal American art form has made its
appearance.
The inspiration. the subject matter
and the vehicle for the expression of
this new painting Is the Pueblo Indian.
These Taos artists, whose number va
ries from three or four to as many as
fifteen with the changing seasons. are
here to paint the Indian. They have
for models whole Pueblo tribe. living
esque of Pueblo community houses
single great beehive of an adobe struc-
:ure that houses 700. For n back
ground there Is the town Of Taos-an
old-time city of adobe built in the
purest Mexican style. outwardly at
least a perfect bit Of the west Of fifty
years ago. Around the city stretches
a ring Of the blue Rockies, rising 5000
feet sheer from the level of the plain
one of the most beautiful stretches of
has already been extensively celebrated
in incidental poetry. But the chief
product of the Taos valley is pictorial
art.

Many Necessary

ment of neo-orientalism or vorticism.
Here are color. light and contrast; pic
turesque types in a picturesque set
ting; primitive race in a rich primi-
brushes that shall put them on canvas
Painting the southwestern Indian is a
golden opportunity for the American
artist. and he Is beginning to take ad-
vantage of it in force.
There are a dozen different Indian
pueblos in New Mexico, of various de-
grees of accessibility and picturesque
ness, and nowadays you can hardly
visit the most isolated of them without
finding some copper-colored old buck
with deeply wrinkled face and steady
black eyes posed before the easel Of an
enterprising painter. From little lost
villages like Chamnita to great Zuni,
the largest of the pueblos with 1900
Indians. the artist is almost as sure to
be found as the Indian trader. He
paints in Isleta. which can be reached
luxuriously by motor from Albu-
querque, and in Santa Fe. where a con-
siderable artist colony enjoys rather
more of the comforts of civilization
than in Taos. But Taos is the principal
stronghold of the Indian painter. COM
bininG as it does in the highest degree
the three elements for which the artist
is in search-natural beauty. a back
ground of the old Mexican frontier
days and a rich abundance of Indian
types.
The artists of Taos might be divided
into three classes-the great. the near
great and the unknowns. This is per-
fectly safe classification. since should
1t reach the eyes of any OF the colony,
none of the members would class them
selves below the second group. There
are men here whose works and nam es
are known from the Pacific to the At
lantic, and farther; others whose repu-
tation is confined to their home states
and still others whose fame Is still to
be made. But they are all painting
away industriously and the contribu-
tons of the least of them to American
art are distinctly worth while. Most
of these men have had a part of their
training abroad. and az a result their
work is distinctively American in its
matter rather than it's method. But
some day an enterprising teacher will
open school in Taos now that the
way has been blazed. and then we will
have artists who are American from
the ground up.
