Emil Bisttram, a Hungarian-born artist, played a significant role in the development of modernism in Taos, New Mexico. After studying traditional European and American art, Bisttram was introduced to modern approaches and styles, including the theory of dynamic symmetry and the influence of artist Nicholas Konstantin Roerich. Bisttram's art continuously evolved as he experimented with different styles and mediums, ranging from representative to non-objective. He also helped form artist groups like the Transcendental Painting Group and the Taos Artists Association, which aimed to promote more abstract and non-objective art in the conservative art community of Taos. Bisttram's adventurous approach to art and dedication to community building contributed to the expansion of modern styles in the Southwest. [Extracted from the article] |
