The founder of the Taos art colony, Joseph Henry Sharp recorded Native Americans and their traditional ways of life. Born in 1859 in Bridgeport, Ohio, Sharp joined the talented students at the McMicken School of Design at age fourteen. He later pursued a rigorous course of study in several European art capitals. In 1883, persuaded by Henry Farny’s example and by an attraction to American Indians dating to boyhood readings of James Fenimore Cooper, Sharp traveled to Santa Fe. Immediately his romantic notions were supplanted by respect for his native models as individuals, and by a sensitivity to their loss of land and customs. For the rest of his life, Sharp painted Native American subjects around Taos and in Montana, where he made two hundred portraits of warriors who had fought against Custer.Sharp painted
