Taos, New Mexico is a land of dreams where historical romance mixes with both fact and fiction. It was to this place that two artists, fresh from the art schools of Paris, France came in the year 1898. According to the tale that has often been repeated in tourist brochures for over a half a century, Ernest Blumenschein and Bert Phillips had a broken wheel on their wagon. While waiting to have the wheel repaired in the rustic, little village both men suddenly saw “whole canvases waiting to be painted, everywhere they looked.” Thus was born, the fabled Taos School of Art.
