In 1913, reeling from the loss of his wife and suffering from tuberculosis, Sheldon Parsons left New York to live in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he started a new life amid terrible anguish. Parsons, at that point in his career, was already a well-respected artist who had studied under William Merritt Chase, but the new location unlocked something visceral in his work. Over the next 30 years, Parsons explored the New Mexico landscape, often painting modern landscape images that unified the land, trees and architecture into a single cohesive vision of the Southwest.
