At the heart of the vibrant cultural mix of the Taos Art Colony, in what may have been its most vibrant phase – the ’teens and ’twenties of the Twentieth Century – Indians, Spanish, Anglos and Europeans alike found Ralph Meyers (1885-1948). The first white man to establish trade with Taos Pueblo, he was also the guide and often the builder and outfitter for the members of the Taos Society of Artists. Fluent with all the cultures of Taos, he absorbed cultural traditions of woodcarving, silver smithing, beading, weaving, and leather working from native and Hispanic peoples with whom he maintained close relationships. Perhaps most remarkably, with no formal training in art and only a third grade education, he watched the academically trained artists from the eastern U.S., from Europe, and from Russia whom he guided into the mountains on sketching and camping trips and taught himself to paint… with such success that Leon Gaspard called him “one of the finest colorists in Taos.” Scheduled to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Taos Society of Artists, A Taos Original: Ralph Meyers, and the Taos Society of Artists, tells the compelling story of a self-taught, self-reliant outsider whose life and vision helped shaped the country’s understanding of the West, and the world’s understanding of American art.

Located in the “Land of Enchantment,” Taos has a long history that predates the Pilgrims’ arrival at Plymouth Rock. Anasazi Indians first inhabited the Taos Valley in 1000 A.D., and the Taos Pueblo (both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a National Historic Landmark) has been continuously inhabited for more than 1,000 years. Spanish conquistadors explored Taos in 1540, and by 1615 many Spanish families had settled in the region. Taos later became a crossroads for French and American trappers, and by the early 1800s it was a bustling headquarters for mountain men, including the legendary Kit Carson. When artists Bert Phillips and Ernest Blumenschein passed through in 1898, a broken wagon wheel delayed them and ultimately resulted in another wave of newcomers, who established an art colony. In 1917, New York socialite Mabel Dodge became enthralled with Taos, and during the next four decades she invited many highly regarded creative people to visit, including Ansel Adams, Carl Jung, Georgia O’Keefe, Willa Cather, D. H. Lawrence, and Aldous Huxley. Taos continues to attract adventurous, spirited individuals.

A fascinating portrait of the Standard Oil heirerss and legendary American trendsetter Millicent Rogers Nobody knew how to live the high life like Millicent Rogers. Born into luxury, she lived in a whirl of beautiful homes, European vacations, exquisite clothing and handsome men. In Searching for Beauty, Cherie Burns chronicles Rogers's glittering life from her days as a young girl afflicted with rheumatic fever to her debutante debut and her Taos finale. A rebellious icon of the age, she eloped with a penniless baron, danced tangos in European nightclubs, divorced, remarried and romanced, among others, Clark Gable. Her romantic conquests, though, paled in comparison to her triumph in the fashion world where she electrified the fashionistas by becoming the muse to designer Charles James, appearing in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and - at the end of her life - retreating to Taos, New Mexico where she popularized Southwestern style. With Searching for Beauty, Millicent Rogers enters the pantheon of great American women who, like Diana Vreeland and Babe Paley, put their distinctive stamp on American Style.
