Andrew Dasburg (1887-1997) was brought to New York City in 1892 from Paris, where he was born. His development reflects the artistic life of both cities, as well as that of Woodstock, New York, where he lived and worked intermittently after 1902, and that of Taos, New Mexico, which he4 visited repeatedly after 1916 and settled in in 1930. He studied with Kenyon Cox at the Arts Students League in 1902 and with Robert Henri and Birge Harrison, before visiting France in 1909-1910. Discovering Modernism there, he was influenced strongly and permanently by Paul Cézanne.
Between 1912 and 1916 Dasburg explored nonobjective modes and also experimented with Synchronism. His work was shown at the Forum Exhibition in 1916. After 1916 his style was consistently Cézannesque, regardless of subject matter. Following a nearly fatal illness which prevented him from Painting between 1935 and 1946, Dasburg developed a brushy style reminiscent of John Marin’s.
Dasburg helped bring the native art of the Southwest to greater attention and, while a juror for the Carnegie International Exhibition of Painting in 1927, helped bring public attention the paintings of John Kane, the primitive artist.
