About the Item

"Saturday Morning (Market, Taos Plaza, New Mexico)" is a striking 1950s modernist linocut print by renowned New Mexican artist Barbara Latham. This vivid print captures a bustling Saturday morning at the Taos Pueblo market, featuring a horse and cart, Native American figures, traditional adobe buildings, and the majestic mountains in the background. Latham's masterful use of line and composition highlights the vibrant daily life in Taos, offering a glimpse into a time now passed. The print is presented in a custom frame with all archival materials, with outer dimensions measuring 16 x 17 ¾ inches and an image size of 8 ½ x 10 ½ inches. About the Artist: Barbara Latham (1903–1989) was a talented artist whose career began as a commercial artist before evolving into a prolific figure in the Taos art scene. She first visited Taos in 1925 to gather inspiration for a greeting card, but the artistic community, including her future husband Howard Cook, drew her in. Latham's artwork is known for its depiction of everyday life, particularly genre scenes set in Taos Pueblo, reflecting her belief in the availability of art for all. Her work for children's books and her linocut prints capture the spirit of the American Southwest with fluid brushstrokes and captivating color palettes. Born in Walpole, Massachusetts, Latham studied at Norwich Art School and Pratt Institute before studying with Andrew Dasburg at the Art Students League in Woodstock. After meeting Howard Cook, the couple traveled to Paris and later to Taxco, Mexico, where they were inspired by the works of Mexican muralists like Diego Rivera. Latham's work during the Depression was populist, contributing prints to organizations like the American Artists Group. Settling in Taos, Latham embraced the dynamic energy of the region, portraying everyday scenes with an authenticity that celebrated the diverse and vibrant community. Her post-World War II work evolved, with her later pieces focusing on minimal backgrounds and elegant forms that captured figures in motion. Latham's style balanced abstraction and modernist sensibilities, infusing energy and rhythm into her genre scenes. Her legacy continues to influence and inspire the art community, particularly in her commitment to capturing the essence of everyday life with modernist flair. This print, "Saturday Morning (Market, Taos Plaza, New Mexico)," is a testament to Latham's skill in portraying the life and culture of Taos with striking simplicity.
