Résumé
Georgia O'Keefe, D. H. Lawrence, Carl Van Vechten, and other expatriates of New York City all came to Taos fleeing urban ugliness, moving west between 1917 and 1929 to join the community that art patron Mabel Dodge created in her… Taos salon and to draw inspiration from New Mexico's mountain desert and "primative" peoples. Their quest for the primitive forged a link between "authentic" places and those who called them home. In this first book to consider Dodge and her visitors from a New Mexico perspective, Burke shows how these cultural mavens drew on modernist concepts of primitivism to construct their personal visions and cultural agendas. Each chapter presents a place as it took shape for a different individual within Dodge's orbit
