Helen Blumenschein Art

American, 1909-1989
Helen Greene Blumenschein was a painter of Southwest landscapes, an illustrator, lithographer, and amateur archaeologist. She was the daughter of Ernest Blumenschein, a member of the first generation of Taos artists, and his artist wife, Mary Blumenschein. Helen grew up in both New York City and Taos, moving to the New Mexico town at age ten with her parents in 1919. She was interested in art as a young girl and later graduated from the Packer Collegiate Institute in Brooklyn. In 1929, she traveled in Europe with her mother and studied with Andre Lhote. Returning to Taos, she focused on lithography and silk screening, and took lessons in those subjects at the Art Students League from 1932 to 1934. From that time, she traveled extensively, but ever returned to Taos. During World War II, she was in the Women's Army Corps in the South Pacific. In addition to Southwest landscapes, her paintings have a wide range of subjects including scenes of Europe and New York as well as landscapes of Arizona and the Grand Tetons. She worked in a variety of mediums: oil, watercolor, ink, silk screen, lithography, and charcoal. She exhibited extensively, and venues included the National Academy of Design, Carnegie Institute, Paris Salon, New York World's Fair, and Venice, Italy. She had a three-person exhibition with her parents at the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff in 1979. Blumenschein was also very active with the Taos Historical Society and the New Mexico Archaeological Society and wrote articles, which were published, on those subjects.
