BARBARA LATHAM, American, 1896-1989

Latham, from the time of her first visit to Taos, created prints and paintings of New Mexico subjects: the Taos landscape, views of the town and themes depicting the seasons of rural life. A lithographer and etcher, she created wood engravings that have an intense, contrasting use of black and white. She also did pencil drawings and illustrated children's books that were award winning.
