LIGHT & COLOR Images from New Mexico

Masterpieces from the Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe

Museum of New Mexico Press

Softcover, 1981, 95 pages, illustrated in black and white and color plates


This volume of fifty masterpieces from the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Santa Fe is the result of a collaboration between the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Nebraska and the Museum of Fine Arts of the Museum of New Mexico.

It represents a “feast of self indulgence, to select what one likes best” and at the same time represents a substantial piece of the history of painting in New Mexico.,  In a broader sense, it offers an illuminating review of American art history as it developed within the confines of a particular geographical region.

Everything that characterizes modern art is represented—Realism and Surrealism, Impressionism and Expressionism, Cubism and Constructivism, the documentary, the poetic and the mystical.

There are 16 color plates and thirty-four black and white photographs which truly reflect the light and color of New Mexico.  Thirty four painter’s works are included.
