"In Light, Landscape and the Creative Quest: Early Artists of Santa Fe, author Stacia Lewandowski takes the reader on an art journey that begins in the days before Santa Fe could boast a single gallery or art museum. Over forty artists [primarily painters] are presented, including well-known and lesser-known figures of the Santa Fe art community, Native American and Hispano artists, as well as notable visitors to the city, such as artists Robert Henri, Edward Hopper and Stuart Davis. With fascinating stories and biographical material, the author explains how the convergence of this extraordinarily creative group of people made a lasting impact on Santa Fe's cultural life. Biographical material is enriched by lively quotes and illuminating stories from the period and complemented by colorful examples of each artist's work."-- "Walking in the Path of the Artists, a pocket-sized booklet of four specially designed walking tours with maps, guides the reader through Santa Fe's historical neighborhoods, past the homes and studios where these early artists lived and worked. Along the routes, the author also discusses other important historical sites and locations where the reader can view art by the artists introduced in the book."--
