WARD LOCKWOOD, 1894-1963
During his early years in Taos, New Mexico, Ward Lockwood spent most of his time fishing and painting with Kenneth Adams, Andrew Dasburg, and Loren Mozley. When John Marin visited Taos in 1929, he found and easy camaraderie with this group of fisherman-painters. Lockwood, who was already partial to using watercolors, was greatly inspired by Marin. These experiences encouraged Lockwood to develop a distinct modernist style of painting. At this time, he was commissioned to paint the Taos County Courthouse murals alongside Bert Philips and Victor Higgins.
