Artists of the Canyons and Caminos : Santa Fe the Early Years is both an introduction and guide to the painters of Santa Fe. From the first days of western exploration artists had occasionally wandered through Santa Fe, but it was not until the early 1900s that it became known as an art colony. Many artists were attracted to the area not only because of its beauty but also because of the dry, clean air. Artists of the Canyons and Caminos traces the lives and work in the art colony of these artists. They built houses in the Santa Fe foothills and engaged in the social and artistic life of the town, and became enduring icons of Western American art.--From cover.
