On display February 8 – September 15, 2013
New Mexico artists have incorporated horses in their Southwestern imagery since the 1880s. These paintings, photographs, prints, and drawings capture the changing spirit of Southwest Art. Horse imagery during the twentieth century became an icon of the region, reflecting its ethnic diversity, and changing aesthetic styles.
The exhibition is curated by John Torres Nez, Ph.D., Southwest Indian Art Association, and Joseph Traugott, Ph.D., New Mexico Museum of Art.
