Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Carlos Vierra (1876 – 1937) studied at the Mark Hopkins Institute (now part of the San Francisco Art Institute) under Gottardo Piazzoni in the 1890s, and also studied illustration in New York. He was the first resident artist in New Mexico and one of the first 3 members of the Santa Fe Art Colony. He was a strong advocate for preserving landmark buildings in New Mexico and promoted a modern architectural style now called the Pueblo Revival Style architecture that reflects this historic architectural heritage. Photograph of the artist Carlos Vierra holding a palette and paint brushes as he works on a painting in his studio. Several paintings are lined up against the wall in the background. He is probably at his Santa Fe home (at 1002 Old Pecos Trail).
