Overview

Cultural Writing. History. Art. Photography. Best known for paintings of Japan, San Francisco born artist Theodore Wores (1858-1939) painted Native American models between 1915 and 1917. His inspiration came from Santa Fe Railway's Grand Canyon of Arizona exhibit at the Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, a trip to the Grand Canyon, and a few months spent in intensive work in Taos, New Mexico, living among artists and Native Americans at Taos Pueblo. Through Wores's own written accounts and photographs, new oral historical research, and commentary by descendants of the paintings' subjects, THEODORE WORES IN THE SOUTHWEST explores the artist's Southwest Indian paintings from the collection of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, and leads the reader through the discovery of the lives and times of the artist's models in Taos Pueblo, New Mexico.
