“Brett traveled to Taos, New Mexico with Lawrence and his wife. She was immediately enamored by the new environment, remarking, “I like it better than England. O, for the bigness of it! …Here I’m free from the old conventions …Here I’m truly free” (as quoted in Cassidy, New Mexico Highway Journal, March 1933). While it was intended to be a short trip, Brett remained there for the rest of her life, becoming an American citizen in 1938. With subjects ranging from bucolic landscapes to Pueblo dancers and symbolic rituals, her paintings illustrate her admiration and respect for the Native American culture of Taos.”

I hadn’t heard of Dawn Brett, so thanks for this introduction. I can imagine coming from England to the Southwest and being stunned by the landscape and the spirit of the place.

I wondered if the Lawrence mentioned here was ‘that’ Lawrence, and it was. I’d not heard of Brett, but when I read the name Lawrence, and the reference to New Mexico, I thought immediately of Georgia O’Keeffe’s painting The Lawrence Tree.
