  • Print a Copy of Historic Taos, a Walking Tour of 22 Taos Landmarks
    Welcome visitors and Taoseños! You are invited to explore the diversity of this region, through a self-guided tour. The two-hundred year old Taos Plaza, and the streets that radiate from it like spokes, form the National Historic District of Taos. It contains a number of national and state landmarks which are Historic testimonials to the rich and complex cultural history of T aos. The T aos Valley has been a major trade and travel route since human presence was first felt in the area. Archeological evidence suggests that people have been using and moving through the Taos Valley for, at least, the past 9,000 years. The ancestors of the Pueblo people, commonly known as the Anasazi, were the first permanent inhabitants of the Valley. Room blocks and pit houses in the Taos area testify to their presence since 900 AD. Around 1200 AD, they aggregat- ed into small above ground structures of 50-100 rooms. Many believe the Taos Pueblo was constructed around 1450 as a multi-story TAOS complex. However, archeologists predominantly place the date of construction of Taos Pueblo in the 14th century on or about 1350. Unfortunately , there is no known recorded date. In any case, the Pueblo Indians depended upon nature for their survival, and therefore treated nature as an organizing and spiritual element in their lives. At the time of the arrival of the Europeans, all of Taos Valley was in the domain of Taos Pueblo Indians. In 1540, Francisco de Coronado, a Spanish conquistador and explorer, was authorized to explor e the area by the king of Spain.

    2006 P reliminary Conference P rogram Early Bird Discount SAVE MONEY: Register by July 14, 2006 Mountain-Plains Museums Association When Cultures Converge, Doors Open 53rd Annual Conference: Monday, September 18 — Friday, September 22, Taos, NM 2006 Conference Welcome From MPMA’s President The Mountain-Plains Museums Association Annual Conference comes to Taos, New Mexico, in 2006, and what better place to soak up art and culture! New Mexico’s “Land of Enchantment” offers a rich southwestern cultural legacy amid the striking contrasts of its natural beauty. And it has been for centuries a place where cultures converged, from early man to the Indian cliff- dwellers, to the Spanish conquistadors and priests, and finally to the Anglo arrival in the mid-1800s. To this day the Indian, Hispanic, and Anglo cultures mix their cultures, traditions, and talents, and yet they remain distinct. And that mixture will be ever present in MPMA’s conference. There will be sessions devoted to cultural convergence, material culture as well as to the burning museum issues of the day. Illegal antiquities, anyone? You will also be able to participate in unique sessions and workshops: there will be pottery classes on Taos and Hispanic pottery; a forum on the pending closure of three Indian museums located in the MPMA region; and sessions devoted to Taos history, its alternative ways of living (past and present), and its amazing art collections. While you are in one of the state’s northernmost cities, we’ll help you take in its architecture and atmosphere as well as the views of the mountains, the many art galleries, and fantastic museums.

    CSFINEARTSCENTER.ORG Contact: Warren Epstein, Media Relations and Community Outreach Manager 719.477.4316; [email protected] Other Artist Bios Jozef Bakos (1891–1977) The Polish artist founded Los Cinco Pintores (the five painters) , Santa Fe's first Modernist art group, and was dedicated to works that depicted specifically American subjects, such as the New Mexico landscape, local adobe architecture and Native American dances. He studied art with John E. Thompson at the Albright Art Institute in Buffalo, New York, and taught at the University of Colorado in Boulder. In 1920, during a break from teaching, Bakos visited Walter Mruk, a childhood friend and artist who was living in Santa Fe. During his stay he exhibited some paintings together with Mruk at the Museum of Fine Arts in Santa Fe. Gustave Baumann (1881–1971) Baumann was one of the leading figures of the color-woodcut revival in America. Born in Magdeburg, Germany, Baumann moved to the U.S. at the age of 10 and by 17, attended night classes at the Art Institute of Chicago. After spending time in Brown County, Ind., as a member of the Brown County Art Colony, Baumann headed to the Southwest in 1918. He found Taos to be too crowded and social but eventually ended up settling in Santa Fe, where he became known as a master of woodcuts, while also producing oils and sculpture. Tom Benrimo (1887 – 1958) A self-taught artist, Benrimo was born in San Francisco and lived there until the San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906 destroyed his home. Relocating to New York with his family, he worked as a scenic designer for theatrical shows and created illustrations for various advertising companies.

The Flowers and Bones of Georgia O’Keeffe examines mystical philosophies prevalent during O’Keeffe’s development as an artist and their influence on her. The influence of mysticism is sought through the examination of selected flower and bone paintings by the modernist artist. I have viewed selected works through an ethnobotanical and anthropological lens, seeking depth and meaning in the artist’s work beyond the current interpretations which focus on gender, sexuality, and feminism. Through the prism of lotus, jimson flower, poppy, and sand dollar cactus, I have explored their importance to O’Keeffe, as well as the context of these plants in Eastern, Western, and Native American cultures in which she was interested. Ethnobotanical sources and intercultural seminars at Ghost Ranch, New Mexico, were included in my research. In addition, a selection of tree portraits, representations of mystical writers the artist admired, are included. These portraits include The Lawrence Tree (D.
