Cady Wells and Southwestern Modernism

Cady Wells (1904-1954) was one of the most innovative modern artists to work within the Santa Fe and Taos colonies in the years between 1932 and 1954, and one of the finest American watercolorists. This full-scale retrospective of his work includes essays which explore Wells' art and life including his intimate friendship with Martha Graham. This catalogue is companion to an exhibition to open at the University of New Mexico Art Museum in Spring 2010 before it travels to three venues throughout the country.
