Your influence on my work is, perhaps, apparent, but I am truly grateful for the guidance you have provided over the years. Your patience and support while I balanced the weight of a museum career and the completion of my dissertation meant the world! I would certainly be remiss to not thank the staff, trustees, and volunteers at the Millicent Rogers Museum for bearing with me while I finalized my degree. Your kind words, enthusiasm, and encouragement were greatly appreciated. I know I looked dreadfully tired in the weeks prior to the completion of my dissertation and I thank you for not mentioning it. The Couse Foundation, the University of Oklahoma’s Charles M. Russell Center, and the School of Visual Arts, likewise, deserve a heartfelt thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of Taos and supporting my research. A very special thank you is needed for Ginnie and Ernie Leavitt, Carl Jones, and Byron Price.

  • The Broken Wheel and the Taos Society of Artists (Ernest L
    The Broken Wheel and the Taos Society of Artists (Ernest L. Blumenschein Home & Museum Brochure 2016) American artist Joseph Henry Sharp briefly visited Taos in 1893. While studying painting in Paris two years later, he met and became friends with two other young American art students, Ernest L. Blumenschein and Bert G.Phillips. Sharp told them about the Indian village of Taos and the spectacular land. Blumenschein later wrote “I remember being impressed as I pigeon-holed that curious name in my memory with hope that some day I might pass that way.” On his return from Paris in 1896, Blumenschein was commissioned by McClures Magazine to do a series of illustrations in Arizona and New Mexico. He was so taken by the Southwest that he convinced his friend Bert Phillips to join him two years later on a sketching trip from Denver to Mexico. Having spent the summer of 1898 painting and camping in the Rocky Mountains, the two young artists started painting their way south in the early fall. On September 3, while driving the storm- ravaged roads of northern New Mexico, the wheel on their light surrey slipped onto a deep rut and broke. The men tossed a three-dollar gold piece to determine who would carry the wheel to the nearest blacksmith for repair. Blumenschein lost the toss and so made the twenty-mile trek to Taos with the broken wheel. Thus began a great experiment in American Art. Blumenschein (called “Blumy” by his many friends) stayed in Taos only a few months and then returned to New York.

  • WESTERN ART GALLERY the Brinton Museum Is Located on the Historic Quarter Circle a Ranch in the Foothills of the Bighorn Mountains
    WESTERN ART GALLERY The Brinton Museum is located on the historic Quarter Circle A Ranch in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains. Bradford Brinton purchased the ranch headquarters in 1923 from the Scotsman William Moncreiffe and used the Ranch House at the Quarter Circle A as a vacation home, spending several months each year in Big Horn. An avid collector of fine art, American Indian artifacts, firearms, and books, Bradford Brinton filled his home with fine and beautiful items. He was personal friends with many artists, such as Ed Borein, Hans Kleiber and Bill Gol- lings, whose art decorated the house. He also collected works by Frederic Re- mington, Charles M. Russell and Winold Reiss. Several of these important works of art are now on exhibit in The Brinton’s Forrest E. Mars, Jr. Building in the Ted and Katie Meredith Western Gallery of Art. Bradford and his sister, Helen Brinton, left an enduring legacy of the golden era of an early 20th Century gentleman’s working ranch. The Wild West had been tamed, the vast rangelands fenced, and motorized vehicles were replacing horses. Americans were clinging to the images of hardy cowboys, noble Indians, and untamed land filled with birds and wild beasts. Bradford and Helen Brinton have helped preserve the feel- ing of the West at that time for all of us to enjoy today. Above: Bradford Brinton and friends riding the Buffalo Bill stage coach, The Brinton Museum Archives Right: Bradford Brinton on his Palomino horse, Pal; the Quarter Circle A Ranch Post; and thoroughbreds on the Brinton Barn grounds, 2015 John Mix Stanley was an artist-explorer known for his landscapes, American In- dian portraits and scenes of tribal life in the American West.
