Serenading the Light: Painters of the Desert Southwest

Serenading the Light celebrates a collection of works mostly by New Mexican artists of the early twentieth century. Nearly twenty years in the making, this compilation includes most of the names always associated with this time and place, but it also goes beyond those names to include masterful works by others not so well-known. Collections are built in many ways and though there is no handbook for this type of pursuit, it seems that the best, most honest collections are built from passion. Bill Schenck's passion in this endeavor shines through. His keen eye for strong composition, solid draftsmanship, bold strokes, and luscious paint make this collection exceptional.

Artists included:
Gerard Curtis Delano Joseph Fleck Norma Bassett Hall Joseph Imhof Nellie Knopf W. H. D. Koerner William R. Leigh Ila McAfee Coy Seward Ben Turner
