Quick Summary

The Taos Society of Artists was an American art group established in 1914 in Taos, New Mexico. This art colony was the first of its kind dedicated to the art of the American West.1

The society exhibited its work across the United States and Europe. Walter Ufer, a painter known for his portraits of Native Americans and southwestern landscapes, was a member of this group. Taos itself, a town in New Mexico, has a rich history, including being the site of the Pueblo Rebellion in 1680 and an important trading center. The area later became a resort colony for writers and painters, attracting notable artists and fostering a vibrant arts community.12
