Sugar Hill, Late Afternoon
was painted in 1930 and records a view of the hill behind Parrish's property in the central New Hampshire town of Plainfield where he lived from 1898 until his death in 1966. Parrish, an enormously successful illustrator, developed a serious interest in landscape painting during the course of the 1930s, which intensified as the result of a particular commission: in 1934 the firm of Brown and Bigelow engaged him to paint summer and winter scenes of his own choosing for a series of calendars. As Alma Gilbert has noted, during the last thirty years of his life Parrish 'sought to capture the tranquil, idyllic settings of the spectrally picturesque New England area where he lived' (Alma Gilbert,
Maxfield Parrish: The Masterbooks
(Berkeley, California: Ten Speed Press, 1995], p. 168).
Parrish purposefully sought to make his images direct and eye-catching. He consistently gave equal attention to all details in his compositions in order to achieve 'a quality of reality and consequently a beauty of truth' (Coy Ludwig,

William Herbert "Buck" Dunton was a precocious illustrator who left school at the age of sixteen to pursue his art full time. His illustrations appeared in books and magazines such as
Scribner's,
Collier's
and
Harper's Weekly,
among others. The proceeds from these ventures funded his summer trips West, beginning in Montana in 1896. In fact, these summer excursions were inspired as much by his love of the outdoors as for his need for fresh ideas for the Western imagery his new profession required of him.
Dunton attended the Cowles Art School in Boston and the Art Students League in New York City, where he studied under Joseph de Camp and Ernest Blumenschein. It was Blumenschein who first suggested Taos to Dunton, and the latter permanently relocated there in 1912. Together with Oscar Berninghaus, E. Irving Couse, William Herbert "Buck" Dunton, Bert G. Phillips and Joseph H. Sharp, Blumenschein founded the Taos Society of Artists in 1915. Their mission was to sell paintings depicting the people and environs that had captured their imaginations, although the lack of local galleries resulted in a number of traveling exhibitions, which in the end brought their work to a wider public.
In 1922 Dunton left the Taos Society of Artists to pursue an independent career. Giving full rein to his nostalgia for the golden age of the West and the vanishing frontier, Dunton captured nature and cowboys with romance and sensitivity by harnessing a powerful sense of two-dimensiona

William Glackens was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1891, following his graduation from Philadelphia's Central High School where John Sloan was a fellow student, he joined the
Philadelphia Record
as an artist-reporter, and worked in a similar capacity from 1892 to 1895 for the
Philadelphia Press.
Also working for the
Press
at this time were Sloan, George Luks, and Everett Shinn-all of whom became associated with a group of progressive painters known as "The Eight." In 1893 Glackens studied briefly with Thomas Anschutz at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Glackens and the artist Robert Henri shared a studio in 1894, and traveled to Europe together the following year. Upon his return to America in 1896 Glackens settled in New York and worked as an illustrator for the New York Herald and later for the New York World. In 1908 he became a member of the Eight(Henri, Sloan, Shinn, Luks, Maurice Prendergast, Arthur B. Davies, and Ernest Lawson) who held a landmark exhibition at the Macbeth Galle

Joseph Henry Sharp, the father of the Taos art colony, was born in Bridgeport, Ohio, and saw his first Native Americans near Wheeling, West Virginia, just across the Ohio River. He spent his teenage years in Cincinnati, where he studied art at the McMicken School of Design and the Cincinnati Art Academy. Over the course of the 1880s and early 1890s Sharp continued his studies in Munich, Antwerp and Paris. From 1892 to 1902 he taught life drawing and portraiture at the Cincinnati Art Academy. During this period he often ventured west to paint American Indians.
Sharp made trips to Taos, New Mexico, in 1883 and 1893. From 1902 to 1909, he spent summers in Taos and winters at Crow Agency in Montana. In 1910 he settled permanently in Taos. In the 1930s Sharp traveled to China and Hawaii, and in later years he spent winters in Pasadena, California. Sharp was a founding member of the Taos Society of Artists and received numerous prizes, including a silver medal at the Pan American Exposition of 1901 and a gold medal at the Panama-Pacific Exposition of 1915.
Important groups of Sharp's paintings are preserved in the collections of the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley; the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio; the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.; the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma; and the Stark Museum of Art in Orange, Texas.
Sharp painted numerous landscapes and outdoor studies in Taos. He adapted a shepherd's wagon as a studio-on-wh

"Laguna Beach"/by Milton Avery/16 x 20/1943
Milton Avery's generalized treatment of form and flattened color masses linked him artistically with the development of Abstract Expressionism during the 1940s. Indeed, his friendships woth Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb proved to be mutually inspirational, even though Avery never entirely relinquished a desire for representation in his painting.
Avery began to achieve critical success in 1944, when he had his first museum exhibition at the Phillips Memorial Gallery in Washington, D.C. Major opportunities soon followed, including this first retrospective at the Baltimore Museum of Art in 1952. The Whitney Museum organized retrospectives of Avery's work in 1960 and 1982. Following Avery's death in 1965, Rothko remarked: 'Avery is first a great poet. His is the poetry of sheer loveliness of sheer beauty. Thanks to him this kind of poetry has been able to survive in our time...There have been several others in our generation who have celebrated the world around them, but none with inevitability where the poetry penetrated every pore of the canvas to the last touch of the brush' ('Commemorative Essay,' in
Milton Avery
(New York: Whitney Museum of American Art. 1982), p. 181).
Avery typically spent his summers in New England ,but in 1941 he drove cross-country from New York to California, and visited Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks along the way. While on the west coast he spent a month in Laguna Beach in Southern California where he painted the present canvas.

Laverne Nelson Black was born in Viola, Wisconsin. As a youngster he began to develop an interest in depicting western subjects--the result of his exposure to the Native American heritage of the Kickapoo River Valley where he grew up. He regularly associated with boys living on the local reservation. In his earliest pictures he used earth and vegetable colors as well as red keel, the soft stone native to the area that was often used by Native Americans for ceremonial purposes. In 1906, Black's family sold their hotel and restaurant business and moved to Chicago. Black attended the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts for two years, and during his final year there was awarded a scholarship. Following art school, he pursued a career as a newspaper illustrator in Chicago, Minneapolis and New York. During the summer months he would travel to the west to sketch on ranches and reservations. He created painting and sculpture, and he appears to have had some success selling his bronze figures of Native Americans and cowboys.
In the late 1920s, health problems demanded Black move to a warmer and drier climate, and he settled with his wife and children in Taos, New Mexico. In 1937, he and his family moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where he received a major commission from the Public Works Administration to paint six panels for the east lobby of the Phoenix Post Office. The series depicts the history of Arizona from the pioneer days thro

Bawling Deer
is one of numerous portraits Sharp painted of Frank Martinez (who was known both as Bawling Deer and Pâh Wélah) between 1924 and 1946. Here Martinez is wrapped almost entirely in what appears to be a government-issued commercial blanket. Only his wonderfully expressive face and moccasins are exposed. The portrait reflects the growing emphasis on pictorial concerns in Sharp's workit is as much a character study as a study of color, light, form and texture. Sarah E. Boehme has noted that as early as 1905, Sharp's portraits were becoming 'not character studies or records of famous warriors, but studies of pictorial effects, of light falling on subjects. Not only did he pose his subjects, he also probably suggested clothing for them to wear' ('The North and Snow: J. H. Sharp in Montana,'

Shinn's portrayals of the theater provide some of his most visually spectacular pictures and reveal a life-long fascination with the stage that went beyond the role of mere observer. An active participant in his own productions, he was also on friendly terms with several actors and actresses. Around 1910, after receiving a commission to paint 22 x 45 foot murals for Trenton City Hall, Shinn built a large studio behind his Waverly Place residence. The studio also doubled as a theater which included crimson curtains, a proscenium, and a perfectly equipped miniature stage. Home to 'The Waverly Street Players', an amateur theater group, which included the Shinns, the Glackenses, Jimmy Preston, and David Belasco's assistant, Wilfred Buckland, the theater had the character of a private club for friends. For the performances, Shinn wrote three four act melodramas:
The Prune Hater's Daughter, More Sinned Against than Usual,
and
Wronged from the Star.
Shinn first exhibited representations of the theater in 1899 when he showed
Scene - Julia Marlowe, Fourteenth Street Theater,
and
Interior Keith's
