The northern road out of Chimayo leads to Taos,
a 1920s retreat for the sickly D. H. Lawrence when
he sought a ranch cure for tuberculosis. His wife
Frieda reportedly interned his ashes at Kiowa
Ranch on Lobo Mountain.
The adobe church at Rancho de Taos is
reportedly the most painted and photographed
church in the country. The massive shapes of
simple adobe attracted Georgia O'Keeffe in 1929
when she transformed the converging lines
caused by low morning sun from brittle angles to
soft curvilinear abstractions that roll off the
rounded buttresses and blend with the earth.
Ansel Adams photographed the church in 1929
and Paul Strand photographed the same building
in 1932 producing hard-edged starkly realistic
prints.
The three also made images of the thousand
year old Taos Pueblo, now a World Heritage
Site and an active village where 65 Indian families
still live in the oldest continually inhabited
community in the US.
