Taos Artists and Their Patrons, 1898-1950 (inscribed to N. Scott Momaday by his daughter)
Notre Dame, IN: Snite Museum of Art (U Notre Dame), 1999. Hardcover. A nice family association copy, inscribed on the front free endpaper in the year of publication to N. Scott Momaday by his daughter: "1999, For Dad-- Happy Father's Day! We love you so much . . . Jill, Damen, + the girls." Jill Momaday is N. Scott's daughter and a filmmaker; among other projects, she is known as the maker of the movie Return to Rainy Mountain (a riff on N. Scott Momaday's book The Way to Rainy Mountain) about her dive into her Kiowa ancestry. See this article from Santa Fe Magazine about their relationship. This book was produced for a traveling exhibit on Taos's storied art history that toured the nation; it chronicles the work of artists like Andrew Dasburg, John Marin, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Dorothy Brett and those who supported them in and around Taos. N. Scott Momaday was the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for House of the Rising Dawn in 1969 and a key figure of the literary Native American Renaissance. He received the National Medal of Arts in 2007. He was also a visual artist, as was his father Al Momaday. A short quarto in beige cloth with gilt lettering, red endpapers, about 400 pages, rich with color and black and white images. A fine copy in a near fine jacket with light rubbing. Fine / Near fine.
