VERSO
Signed and dated
Inscribed, “The Month of February / One of a series of tempera paintings representing the months of the year in New Mexico”
The artist wrote, “If you take a map of New Mexico, set one point of a pair of dividers somewhere a little north of Silver City, and swing a circle with a two-hundred-mile radius, you will encompass the part of the world I know most intimately and love best. Here is a terrain of wide variety in most terms. Within this circle are found climates that vary from the subtropical to the Arctic-alpine, depending on altitude above sea level. As it is crossed by transcontinental highways and railroads, part of it – a relatively small part of it – is known to tourists. But the greatest part is remote from any road but the most primitive ones and known only to isolated ranchers, a few forest rangers, and prospectors. It is these lonely areas that have a constant, ever-fresh appeal to me. This land and its people have jointly been the subject of the paintings and drawings which have occupied me for the greater part of my life.”
