BURT HARWOOD "SHIPOLOVI" (HOPILAND) OIL ON BOARD

Burt Harwood (1857-1922) "Shipolovi" (Hopiland) Oil on Board. Burt Harwood, born in Iowa, was a painter whose ongoing reputation comes from his Indian paintings tied to his years in Taos, New Mexico beginning 1916, and from the museum that was named for him after his death in 1922. Harwood and his wife had married in 1896. In Taos, they purchased on Ledoux Street an old house that dated back to 1825 and one that held Harwood's studio. During the next few years, they added property to that original piece and insisted on renovations in keeping with the original building methods. They made several apartments and rented one to E Martin Hennings and his wife, when they first arrived in Taos from their honeymoon. Using her own books, Elizabeth Harwood also created a public lending library in the structure because Taos did not have one.
