One of the prominent American printmakers of the 20th century, Gene Kloss is renowned for her etchings of California and Southwestern subjects. She studied at the University of California and the California School of Fine Arts before settling in Taos in 1929. As a leader in New Mexico art, Kloss' work was exhibited in Paris in 1938 along with Blumenschein, O'Keeffe, and Sloan. She is most famous for her prints of Southwestern genre subjects, particularly her etchings, which are characterized by rich tonal variations.
