Description:

RARE MUSEUM EXHIBITED PAINTING!! Bert Geer Phillips (1868 - 1956) "Taos Mountain & Wild Plum Blossoms" Oil on Panel. Bert G. Phillips was the first of the early Taos artists to settle permanently in the remote mountain village, thus he is rightfully considered the founder of the Taos art colony. When Phillips first laid eyes of Taos in 1898 while traveling with his good friend Ernest Blumenschein, he knew immediately that Taos was to be his home. From that moment, he worked tirelessly to bring other artists to Taos, to make it possible for them to stay there, and to promote the idea of an art colony. In the summer of 1915, Phillips along with Ernest Blumenschein, Joseph Sharp, Irving Couse, Oscar Berninghaus and Herbert Dunton joined to form the now famous Taos Society of Artists. At the time, Taos had no commercial galleries, nor many tourists, and it was felt that traveling group exhibitions would attract attention and sales in other parts of the country. Of the individuals who formed the Taos Society of Artists, Phillips was the one most deeply involved in his personal life with the town and pueblo, and never lost his romantic view of Taos. According to Blumenschein, "Phillips is the foundation on which the Taos group built!" (El Palacio, May 1926) He was also a benefactor of the Western artist Harold Dow Bugbee, who became curator of the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum in Canyon, Texas in 1951. Phillips passed away in 1956, leaving behind a significant contribution to one of the most important and distinctly American art movements in history.
