Taos Art Museum at Fechin House
The Taos Art Museum at Fechin House announces a new exhibition, Through the Eyes of Fechin, on view from May 5, 2020 through January 31, 2021. Each artist approaches the canvas in an entirely unique manner; their individual interpretation is as unique as a fingerprint. Renowned artist Nicolai Fechin (1881-1955)—who built the magnificent
Fechin House, a 4,000-square-foot architectural masterpiece and now home of the Taos Art
Museum—was no exception. His exuberant yet precise use of line and color to define form has captivated viewers for more than a century. Set in the context of the exquisite home
Fechin crafted by hand and primarily featuring works from private collections not previously exhibited in Taos, this exhibition will provide a unique opportunity to experience Fechin’s world through his keen eye.
Please check the museum’s website for any exhibition schedule changes due to Covid-19.
Sally Mcdevitt has been painting New Mexico landscapes for the last 20 years. Her works are shown at Weems Gallery & Framing in Albuquerque, where she currently has a series of paintings of the Gila River winding through southwest New Mexico. “My inspiration is atmosphere and light. When it rains, the trails in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains explode with color. Early morning light transforms those trails into an enchanting atmosphere of joy,” says the artist. Her next series will focus on the prickly pear cactus from buds to the growth of flowers and prickly pear pads. This summer, five of her acrylics will be displayed at the new hospital located in the Fort Bliss Armory in Texas, most of which are serene scenes for hospital walls, as well as one bright and happy prickly pear painting.
