No. 19. Denver, CO, Museum of Western Art, February 23-April 22, 1985 San Francisco, CA, Montgomery Gallery, March 18-April 25, 1987, #123 Notes: William Penhallow Henderson was an American Painter, architect and furniture designer. His career began in the Midwest where he taught at the Art Institute of Chicago. However he is best known for his work in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he lived and worked from 1916 until his death in 1943. In addition to being an accomplished fine artist, Henderson built many private homes and public buildings including the Railroad Ticket Office and designed the Navajo House of Religion in Santa Fe (now the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian). Like many artists of the region he chose to focus on scenes of everyday life that were often overlooked or over dramatized. His use of pastel in "Landscape with Rooster, Taos," 1917 was likely done in Plein air. The medium is portable and would make it possible for smaller field works like this to be done in his travels. The present work exemplifies why Henderson is regarded as a notable colorist and early modernist. Retains "Wm. Penhallow Henderson Estate" label on backing board.
