| Details: | Legacy in Line: The Art of Gene Kloss – Selections from the Joy and Frank Purcell Gift to Taos is a collaborative exhibition presented by the Harwood Museum of Art and the Couse Sharp Historic Site, celebrating the extraordinary career of Gene Kloss and her contributions to American printmaking. This exhibition showcases works generously gifted by Joy and Frank Purcell, whose philanthropy has greatly enriched both institutions’ collections, providing a rare opportunity for the community to experience Kloss’s masterful interpretations of the New Mexico landscape. Born Alice Geneva Glasier in 1903 in Oakland, California, Kloss first discovered her passion for etching while studying at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1925, during a honeymoon trip with her husband, poet and composer Phillips Kloss, she visited Taos, New Mexico, bringing with her a portable printing press. This trip sparked a lifelong fascination with the Southwestern landscape and its people, leading to an artistic career defined by her evocative depictions of the region. The couple eventually settled in Taos in 1945, where Kloss continued to refine her craft.
