Bergman Theatre Lobby Gallery
In the early 1900s, a small group of academically trained artists formed the Taos Society of Artists. Their goal was to promote a truly American art as an alternative to much of what was then being produced, which they considered merely an east coast version of European art. By depicting the Taos Indians and the landscape of Northern New Mexico, these artists brought fame to Taos and themselves. The exhibition included examples from many of the Taos Society members, drawn from the Olson Family Collection.
