  • 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.

  • Why So Many Artists Have Been Drawn to New Mexico
    C r e at i v i t y W h y S o M a n y Ar t i s t s H a v e Be e n D r a w n t o Ne w Mexico For generations, artists from Georgia O'Keeffe to Ken Price havefollowed New Mexico’s magnetic pull, finding inspiration in the highdesert’s expansive vistas, quietude, and respite from social and market pressures. Alexxa Gotthardt May 17, 2019 5:57 pm Georgia O’Keeffe had an unexpected train detour to thank for her first encounter with New Mexico. Little did she know, it was the land that would free her—both artistically and emotionally. Several months after photographer­gallerist Alfred Stieglitz presented O’Keeffe’s first New York solo show, in April 1917, the 29­year­old painter embarked on a trip across the American West with her youngest sister, Claudia. While they’d planned to head straight from Texas to Colorado, their train detoured to Santa Fe. New Mexico’s vast, mercurial skies and incandescent light mesmerized the artist. “I’m out here in New Mexico—going somewhere—I’m not positive where—but it’s great,” she gushed in a letter to Stieglitz, dated August 15th. “Not like anything I ever saw before.” Portrait of Georgia O’Keeffe in Abiquiu, New Portrait of Bruce Nauman in New Mexico by Mexico, 1974. Photo by Joe Munroe/Hulton Francois Le Diascorn/Gamma­Rapho via Getty Archive/Getty Images. Images. “There is so much more space between the ground and sky out here it is tremendous,” she continued.

Blumenschein: The Life of An American Artist" Nancy Coggeshall Aug 30, 2013 Ernest L. Blumenschein: The Life of An American Artist by Robert W. Larson and Carole B. Larson, University of Oklahoma Press, 344 pages "Ernest L. Blumenschein: The Life of An American Artist" | Book Reviews | santafenewmexican.com Early in 1898, Ernest Leonard Blumenschein and Bert Geer Phillips, both illustrators in New York, planned a painting trip to Mexico as a break from their work. Although they were ignorant about the outdoors, equine care, and western customs, they would cope. In Denver they purchased camping equipment, two horses, and a wagon. Their route followed the eastern flank of the Rocky Mountains. A coin toss and a late summer’s rain-washed road in Northern New Mexico dictated a fateful change in their travel plans. Blumenschein rode the 20 miles to Taos, lugging the wheel that broke when their wagon slipped into a rut and “suddenly sat down.” Approaching the town, the novice equestrian and Paris-educated artist was exhilarated at the sight of the Taos valley’s “magnificent country,” and he realized it signaled their destination. He later commented that it was “the first unforgettable inspiration of [his] life.” Blumenschein’s trajectory from that moment arced toward more study in Paris, greater recognition as an illustrator, numerous awards and prizes, and an international reputation as an artist. In May 2011, his 1922 painting White Robe and Blue Spruce sold for $1,583,500 at Sotheby’s.
