Willard F. Clark was a printmaker and artist who greatly shaped the way the rest of the world views old-time Santa Fe; New Mexico. Born in 1910 in Boston; he grew up in Argentina; and studied art during the summers in New York City at Grand Central Station Art School and the Hawthorn Art Academy. In 1928; on his way to California; he stopped in Santa Fe; New Mexico and fell in love with the majestic landscape of the American Southwest. There he started a small print shop and taught himself the craft of printing; cutting his own woodblocks; setting type; and binding small books. Willard Clark developed a graphic style that came to represent early Twentieth-century Santa Fe to many around the world. This collectible reprint of Recuerdos de Santa Fe; 1928-1943 includes 48 beautiful and original etchings; along with reminiscences from author Willard Clark that capture the old-time feel of Santa Fe; New Mexico. First produced as a limited edition book with 100 signed copies; this edition includes an introduction by the artists grandson Kevin Ryan. Remembering Santa Fe makes a perfect gift for those who love Southwest art; an ideal memento of a Santa Fe vacation; or a charming souvenir for anyone interested in the art and artists of the West.
