DescriptionIn this traditional, impressionistic representation of a Taos winter street scene, adobe dwellings are staggered diagonally on the left, and banked by snow and a dirt lane. The New Mexico foothills are held in deep blue, atmospheric shadows in the background. Cottonwoods, with remaining leaves of autumn, sit behind the structures. Subtle tonal contasts achieve a modernist impression.On View
