notes
Couse is best known for his intimate images of Native Americans in quiet repose. The artist's paint strokes set up a rhythmic flow, which moves throughout the work. Tradition holds that the Taos Indians were created out of the sacred waters of Blue Lake.

notes
Eanger Irving Couse painted this scene one year after his first trip to Taos. Like other eastern artists, he was especially struck by the intense light and stark contrasts of northern New Mexico. Couse painted Walpi Pueblo as a quick sketch, capturing the sudden, lonely chill that accompanies the clouds at higher elevations.
