As part of the Santa Fe 2015 “Summer of Color,” The New Mexico Museum of Art will present the exhibition, Colors of the Southwest.

The exhibition will encompass an array of art created from the early 20th century to the present and will include paintings, photographs, prints, watercolors, and ceramics.. Included are iconic work by artists such as Victor Higgins, Gustave Baumann, Sheldon Parsons, Dorothy Morang, Louise Crow, Andrew Dasburg, Fremont F. Ellis, William Penhallow Henderson, Georgia O'Keefe, Mitchell Johnson, Kate Krasin, Robert Daughters, Eddie Dominguez, Helmuth Naumer, Warren E. Rollins, and Hulleah J. Tsinhnahjinnie.
