"New Mexico River Valley, " 1920s Painting, Black, Green & Blue, Attr. Applegate

About the Item

This superbly painted view of the mountains framing a river valley in northern New Mexico is attributed to Frank Guy Applegate, who lived and worked in the state during the 1920s, and is known for his watercolors -- such as this -- that present strong, abstracted views of the local landscapes, all in vivid colors and bold strokes of paint. Applegate was considered one of the New Mexico Modernists, and was accompanied on some of his painting forays by B.J.O. Nordfeldt, Andrew Dasburg and Josef Bakos. Applegate also had enormous respect for the culture and artistry of the native people, and encouraged a revival of the Pueblo style of architecture, soon to be mastered by John Gaw Meem. Dimensions include matte and frame; visible painting is 18 inches high by 23 inches wide.

    By Paul Colin

The Black male figure is the height of fashion in his tuxedo, and the female figure is wearing a thin, diaphanous, pale green dress...
