About the Item

This painting of a lush, wooden landscape with a house by a lake was painted by New Mexico, female artist Mabel Dodge Luhan in the 1940's. It signed "Mabel Dodge" in the lower left and it is framed in an original, gold period frame, handcrafted and signed by its maker. Mabel Evans Dodge Sterne Luhan (pronounced LOO-hahn), née Ganson was a wealthy American patron of the arts. She is particularly associated with the Taos art colony. Mabel Dodge Lujan was born in Buffalo, New York. She attended boarding schools in Buffalo and New York City. When she was twenty she married Karl Evans who died in a hunting accident just two years after their marriage. She married again at age 25 to Boston architect, Edwin Dodge. During her marriage to Dodge she entertained regularly at their home in Florence, Italy and later in New York City. Her guest list included Gertrude Stein, Alice Toklas, musician Arthur Rubinstein, and other notable actors, artists and authors of the day. The marriage to Dodge ended in divorce, and in 1916, she married Maurice Sterne. The couple moved to New Mexico where she continued to socialize and hold salons at their home in Taos. She had an affair with Tony Luhan, which brought about the end of her third marriage. In 1923 she married Luhan. During the 1930s and 1940s she authored a series of books that were cultural and social histories of the times including stories of her Taos and Santa Fe friends such as Andrew Dasburg, Dorothy Brett, John Marin, and Georgia O'Keeffe. Also an artist, she completed many watercolors during this period.
