E. Martin Hennings: Rabbit Hunt

E. Martin Hennings (American, 1886-1956), *Rabbit Hunt*, c. 1925, oil on canvas, Denver Art Museum

“Hennings was drawn to both the landscape and the people of the Taos area. The bright sunlight of New Mexico inspired his colorful palette. He commented in his later years, “I have been working in Taos many years and I think that should prove that I like it here; the country, the mountains with their canyons and streams, the sage beneath the clouded skies, the adobe village with its Spanish people and of course the Taos Pueblo with its Indians. Their life—domestic and agricultural—with all the color and romance of their dress and history.”

I always enjoy your forays into art and music, connecting often with informative videos. This post is really interesting to me as I have never heard of Hennings, and thoroughly enjoyed learning about him and his work. I certainly will do more exploring here!
