About the Item

Eanger Irving Couse Trees in a Landscape, circa 1900 Signed lower left Oil on canvas 9 1/8 x 14 5/8 inches Provenance Fenn Gallery, Santa Fe, New Mexico Private Collection, Arizona Mark Sublette Medicine Man Gallery, Tucson, Arizona Eanger Irving Couse was born September 3, 1866 in Saginaw, Michigan. Couse's artistic inclination and fascination with Native American traditions emerged at a very young age. At the age of sixteen, he dropped out of school to attend the Art Institute of Chicago for a short time then the National Academy of Design in New York City for two years. Couse traveled to Paris in the fall of 1886 and enrolled at the Académie Julian. He picked up French quickly, studied art with Tony Robert Fleury and William Bougereau, and frequently won awards for his creations. Mutual friends introduced him to Virginia Walker, girl from Washington who had traveled to Paris to pursue her studies in drawing, in the fall of 1887. They fell in love and were wed in Paris in 1889. Virginia persuaded her husband to come back to America and spend a year on her family's ranch in Washington, where he could locate Indian models, so that Couse could paint a significant Indian portrait for the Paris Salon. In 1893, the Couses returned to France and settled in Etaples, a tiny art colony and fishing community on the Picardy coast. They stayed for three years while he painted fishermen and French peasants. Kibbey, their son, was born in Etaples. The Couses set up a winter workshop in New York in 1898, although they painted in Washington, Connecticut, and France during the summers. In May 1902, Couse spoke with his friend Ernest Blumenschein and discovered Taos. A lifetime of summer residency and the creation of his renowned oeuvre began when Couse and his family arrived in northern New Mexico two weeks later. Couse was one of the founders of the Taos Society of Artists in 1915 and its first president. A painter of Native Americans in Taos for the rest of his life, he was honored with many major prizes and awards. Couse died in 1936 after a long and distinguished career.
