Book excerpt: In the early decades of the 20th cent., creative people in Europe and America were seeking a new way of life that offered an escape from Victorian morality and worldview. Women were emerging as a social and political force intent on redefining themselves. New Mexico's communities of Santa Fe and Taos offered Amer. versions of Paris. Lured by the presence of wealthy socialite Mabel Dodge Luhan, a dazzling array of artists, including D.H. Lawrence, Paul Strand, Maynard Dixon, Leopold Stokowski, Robinson Jeffers, Willa Cather, Georgia O'Keeffe, and others, found inspiration in the sun and light of the high desert. Here is a remembrance of the bohemian years of NM's artist colonies, recalling an era that has profoundly influenced our postmodern world. 150 b&w photos.
