AMERICAN MODERNISM This month the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe presents the exhibition Modernists in New Mexico: Works from a Private Collection. The exhibit features works by various modern artists who arrived in the Southwest after 1912: Thomas Hart Benton, Stuart Davis, Marsden Hartley, Robert Henri, Edward Hopper, O'Keeffe herself, and John Sloan. Some of these artists visited briefly while others became longtime residents; for all of them, visiting and picturing New Mexico became an artistic rite of passage.
