American Art

The New Mexico Town that Inspired Genius

In this 60-Second Gallery, discover the Taos Art Colony through four outstanding works by Joseph Henry Sharp, Nicolai Fechin, Leon Gaspard, and Eanger Irving Couse. These artists paired an impressionistic style with the color palette of the desert West to exemplify the solemn beauty of Native American models. These brilliant works and more examples of distinctly American art will be offered in our American Art auction on 23 May in New York.
