20th Century

The Department of Twentieth-Century Art encompasses a wide range of modernist paintings by acclaimed blue-chip and regional American artists. The earliest rebels of genteel art such as members of "The Eight", like Robert Henri, John Sloan, William Glackens, and Leon Kroll, join our ranks among the most avant-garde early experimenters in American art made famous by Alfred Stieglitz and his New York galleries - Georgia O'Keeffe, Arthur Dove, and Max Weber among others. The Steiglitz Circle and related artists waved their fists at what they saw as overly sentimentalized, nineteenth-century tastes.  View Artwork

  
   

Taos & Santa Fe

The first professional artists established residence in Taos and Santa Fe in the 1890s, and both communities have been a destination for artists since that time. The Taos artists distinguished themselves as nationally recognized realist and romantic painters of the West through exhibitions, which circulated throughout the country between 1915 and 1927, when the Taos Society of Artists was active. At the same time, some 100 miles south of Taos, the Santa Fe Art Colony began to form as younger, more experimental artists flocked here in search of scenic, inexpensive places to paint, and dry, high desert climes for health reasons. Additionally, the newly formed Museum of New Mexico, in an effort to establish the city as a recognized art colony and tourist destination, offered artists unjuried exhibition spaces and summer studio spaces as early as 1917.  View Artwork

Naturalism

Nature has always been a source of artistic inspiration and the principal subject of artists depicting landscape, animals, and much of still life. The Department of Naturalism expands upon this rich artistic tradition. Featuring a wide array of subjects and artistic styles, the department offers the finest in contemporary painting, sculpture, and works on paper inspired by the natural world. View Artwork

  
   

Photography

The Gerald Peters Gallery, Santa Fe, has a varied selection of vintage photographs by American masters such as Ansel Adams, Morley Baer, Ralston Crawford, and Paul Strand, as well as a contemporary department of nationally recognized photographers focusing upon our American cultural identity and our relationship to the land. This interest in various regions of the country and how they have been explored, celebrated, impacted, or exploited by American culture, past and present, expands our national reputation in the areas of 19th century explorer artists of the American West and contemporary American realist painters.  View Artwork
