But to Davison Koenig, the Couse-Sharp Historic Site executive director and curator, it’s perfectly understandable. “The arrival of those who would come to be known as the Taos Society of Artists was a perfect storm of circumstances, the timing of which coincided with a burgeoning interest in the American Southwest,” he said. “They didn’t just visit here; they settled here. And so they became a colony with a common and concerted vision, which was to share with the rest of the world an authentic depiction of Native culture and the American Southwest landscape.” Today, the site--owned and operated by The Couse Foundation and including the homes and studios of founding artists E. Irving Couse and J. H. Sharp--is a fascinating step back into time, but is poised to become the future’s singular research center dedicated to Taos as one of the most important art colonies in the country’s history.

  • David Perez Escudero
    David Perez Escudero David Perez Escudero received his first oil painting set at the age of 12. He still has the paint set, the empty tubes and worn brushes as a reminder of where his love of painting began. He is inspired by the dramatic New Mexico landscape. David was born in Las Vegas, New Mexico, which is located in the high plateau of the Northeastern Great Plains near the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. He intimately knows the Velarde apple orchards, the chamisa growing around Santa Fe, and he hikes the mountains and mesas of the area as he has done since his youth. While studying art, mathematics and science at New Mexico Highlands University David was influenced by his art teacher Elmer Schooley. He also studied art at the University of Madrid and spent long hours at the El Prado Museum where he enjoyed the art of Velasquez, Goya and Rembrandt. Other major influences on his art are Manet, Monet, Bonnard and Cezanne. In his own words he says “I am trying to capture the vital energy that exists in nature by using my micro-palette technique. This process creates many layers of paint which leave little fractures on the surface which bring out the colors from previous layers of paint. The texture created produces micro shadows which cause the colors on the surface to change in intensity, depending on the time of day and the light source. I apply each color in layers through the whole surface of the painting in order to achieve a unity of design.

The historic and highly connected in New York’s gallery scene, these V town, nestled in the shadows of the Sangre de Cristo artists collectively began seeking subjects to paint that Mountains, has been a haven for artists since the early 19th were uniquely American. Breaking from conventional century and its romantic reputation continues today. Artists Eastern painting styles, the TSA fostered what they felt to migrate to Taos for the same reasons the Pueblo Indians be the “new American art.” The Southwest landscape and settled there long before: the light, the land and the quiet Native culture dominated the subject matter for these early vastness of the southwest. From early Taos founders to artists who were revolutionary for their time not only for trendsetting Taos Moderns, the diversified community served introducing a new, locally inspired color palette, but for as an escape and a rebellion from established coastal art softening the Wild West mentality of American art. “Up scenes and busy city centers. The same sentiments exist until that point, the American identity was remembered today as creative voices carry on the legacy of the area’s for its dramatic cowboy and Indian motif,” says Davison rich art history with independent perspectives. These Koenig, executive director and curator of the Couse-Sharp perspectives, however, are derived from Taos’ unchanged Historic Site in Taos. “The TSA had a more romanticized bohemian attitude and surrounding natural beauty that vision.
