Richly illustrated, Artists of the Canyons and Caminos traces the lives and work of painters who settled in Santa Fe in the early years of the twentieth century. Under their influence, Santa Fe grew from a dusty high-desert town with no paved streets or automobiles to a thriving community. Artists of the Canyons and Caminos features a new foreword by publisher Gibbs M. Smith, and reveals little-known facts and profiles of the personalities who catalyzed this transformation. Above all, it illuminates their common bond: an enduring love for the beauty of the land that called to them in the first place. Some places in the world have a particular atmosphere, a sense of romance, which makes them "good places to paint." Santa Fe, New Mexico-with its clean, sharp air; its startlingly bright colors; its sculptured mesas and mountains-is one of these places. Artists of the Canyons and Caminos includes: A brief chronology of Santa Fe from its inauguration as a state capital housing the oldest public building in the United States (Palace of the Governors); to the first annual exhibition of the Cinco Pintores in 1921, when of the town's population of 7,000, 15 were resident artists; to the opening of the Institute of American Indian Arts in 1962. Descriptions of the broad spectrum of representational styles that flourished there, from romance to super-realism. Major patrons of the arts: railroads, scientists, territorial senators, lawyers, well-to-do retirees. The artists' missions: admiration for the local Indians and their arts, encouragement of young artists of all nationalities, solidarity to prevent Santa Fe from being overly Americanized.

"This exhibition explores an encounter between Henri Matisse (1869-1954), the great French modernist painter, and the spiritual universe of Arctic peoples. Seen through the windows of Matisse's mask-like drawings, which were modeled on photographs of Inuit, Yup'ik and Kalaalliit people, we find an expansive Arctic reality. Matisse's almost accidental introduction to the Indigenous arts of Alaska--which came through his family, and from other French artists enraptured by Native American art and thought--struck a deep chord in him, which resonated in his own confrontations with mortality and legacy. In the exhibition 'Yua: Henri Matisse and the Inner Arctic Spirit', we endeavor to articulate an inclusive and expanding concept of art from the early twentieth century. The history of what is called Western art (also Euro-American or North Atlantic art) include manifold influences from other cultures, some of which have rarely been understood beyond purely formal comparisons. The presentation of 'Yua' places emphasis on Native American cultural traditions, and shows how Matisse, and younger artists and writers among the Surrealist circle, fell under the spell of fascination--not just with the physical forms of Native American art but also with its conceptual and ceremonial bases"--Page 57.

"A book of Hamish Fulton's text pieces that both discuss and exemplify his artwork. Fulton's spare texts originate in walks he takes through the landscape. Descriptive and at times prescriptive, he describes them as "facts for the walker and fiction for everyone else." Carefully placed on the small square pages, each aphoristic piece is simultaneously present and absent as an artwork, a fact captured by the book's subtitle: 'The separation of subject (walking) and medium (text on paper).'"--Printed Matter.
