Description: "For generations, the visual drama of the Rocky Mountains has seduced artists. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, painters, photographers, and sculptors who visited or settled in northern New Mexico created evocative visions that came to represent the West for audiences across America. During the 1920s and 1930s, Santa Fe and Taos were recognized as two of the nation's--and world's--most important art communities. The cosmopolitan denizens of these relatively remote outposts embraced a multicultural America by engaging with Native American and Hispano populations, and, spurred by the enduring mystique of New Mexico as 'the land of enchantment,' succeeding generations have continued that legacy."
